Weymouth, Dorsetshire.—About five o'clock in the afternoon of the 8th of September, 1949, the life-boat William and Clara Ryland was returning to her station after overhaul at Cowes when she saw distress signals from the motor yacht Juliette two miles south-west of St. Alban's Head. A fresh south- westerly breeze was blowing and there was a swell. The life-boat found the yacht with her engine broken down and three men on board, and towed her to Weymouth harbour, which she reached at 7 o'clock in the evening.

The owner made a gift to the life-boat men.—Rewards, £3..
