Peel, Isle of Man.—Shortly after one •o'clock on the afternoon of the 15th •of August, 1950, the harbour master notified the honorary secretary that the local fishing yawl Ruby, overdue with a <^rew of two, had broken down at White Strand, two miles north-cast of Peel.

At 1.50 the life-boat Helen Sutton was launched in a moderate sea with a •strong south-westerly breeze. She found the Ruby at anchor, disabled by a magneto failure, and took her in tow. Then she returned to her station, arriving at 2.40. The owners thanked the life-boatmen.—Rewards, £13 12s. Qd..
