Cygnet

Filey, Yorkshire.—At 8.40 oil the evening of the 10th of July, 1950, a report was received that the sailing dinghy Cygnet was in a dangerous position, with two people on board waving for help. Sixteen minutes later the life-boat The Cuttle was launched in a slight sea with a light west-south-westerly wind blowing. She came up with the dinghy off Filey Brig, and took on board the boat and her crew. She reached her station again at ten o'clock.—Rewards, £12 2s..
