flfracombe, Devon.—At 12.45 in the afternoon, on the 13th of May, 1951,the coastguard telephoned that Bull Point lighthouse reported a motor yacht burning a red flare off Brandy Cove. At 1.0 the life-boat Richard Silver Oliver was launched. The sea was moderate with a fresh northerly breeze blowing. She found the motor yacht Lady Gay, with a crew of five.

Her engines had broken down, so the life-boat towed her to Ilfracombe.

She reached her station again at 3.0.

The owner expressed his thanks.— Rewards, £15 17*..
