Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—At 6.8 on the morning of the 26th of August, 1950, the Foreland Coastguard reported a small yacht in need of help half a mile south of St. Catherine's Point. At 6.25 the life-boat Langham, on tem- porary duty at the station, was launched in a rough sea with a fresh south-south- westerly breeze. She came up with the yacht—the Gwenili—took her in tow and brought her, with her crew of four, into Bembridge Harbour. While she was there, the coastguard said that a sailing boat seemed to be in diffi- culties; but when the life-boat came up with her she was moving and in no need of help. The Langham therefore returned to her station, arriving at 10.15. The owners of both boats made gifts to the Institution's funds.— Rewards, £13 8s. 6d.
