Way, Inner Hebrides.—At 10.35 on the night of the 23rd of July, 1949, the Southend coastguard reported a tele- phone message from the Isle of Gigha that the motor yacht Hyskeir II, of Greenock, was aground on a reef to the north of the Island. A man had come ashore from her in a small boat, and no lives were in danger. A later message said that the yacht was now bumping badly and that she asked for the life-boat to prevent her from being damaged. At 11.10 the life-boat Char- lotte Elizabeth left her moorings, in a slight northerly breeze with a ground swell. She refloated the yacht, picked up her dinghy, which had drifted away, and took her to safe water. She arrived back at her station at 7 o'clock the next morning.—Property Salvage Case..
