Zephyr

Falmouth, Cornwall.—At six o'clock in the evening, on the 16th of Sep- tember, 1950, a report was received that a yacht was dragging her moorings on to rocks at Restronguet. At 6.30 the life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare left her moorings, in a heavy sea with a fresh southerly gale blowing.

She found the yacht Zephyr in danger of going ashore; for there was no one in her. A life-boatman therefore went on board and the life-boat towed her to an anchorage at Restronguet, reach- ing her station again at 8.30.—Rewards, £5 13s..
