The Sailing Boat Brigand

Weymouth, Dorsetshire.—At six o'clock in the evening of the 15th of September, 1949, a boat owner reported that his sailing boat Brigand was missing with a man and a woman on board. The life-boat William and Clara Ryland was launched at 6.10 in a slight sea, with a light westerly breeze. The Wyke Regis coastguard wirelessed her that there was a sailing boat near the Shambles Lightvessel; and here the life-boat found the Brigand drifting and towed her in, reaching her station again at 7.40.—Rewards, £4 18s..
