Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.—At 9.12 on the morning of the 27th of May, 1951, the yacht St. Heller, of Burnham, was seen a quarter of a mile off the pier, where she had been lying all night.

The coxswain went out to her and found her in a dangerous position. She had lost her dinghy and her crew of four asked for a tow. The coxswain re- turned to the shore and at 9.40 the life-boat Edward Z. Dresden was launched. The sea was rough, with a south-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat towed the St. Helier to Bright- lingsea, and reached her station again at 2.40 that afternoon. The four men expressed their thanks.—Rewards, Rewards, £13 2*. 3d..
