New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 4.15 on the afternoon of the 23rd of July, 1950, the Wallasey Police reported that two people on a yacht at the foot of the sea wall were calling for help. At 4.45 the No. 2 life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson put out in a north-westerly breeze with a moderate sea and found the yacht Jupiter, of West Kirby, near Harrison Drive. As the life-boat ap- proached, she warned the two people aboard the yacht, by loud-hailer, to be prepared to jump. Then she went alongside and they dragged them aboard. The life-boat reached her station again at 5.30, and the yacht was brought in later by a motor boat.
