Peel, Isle of Man.—About 4.30 in the afternoon of the 30th of July, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that a small yacht was in difficulties off Peel, and the life-boat Helen Sutton was launched at 5.15. A strong, squally south-west wind was blowing and the sea was rough. The life-boat found the yacht Restless, of Belfast, with a crew of four.

She had put out to test her engine, but it had failed. Then the men had tried to hoist her sail, but the halliards had carried away, and she was drifting. The life-boat took her n tow and brought her into harbour at 5.45.— Rewards, £13 12s. 6d..
