Dimcyl (1)

Lowestoft, Suffolk.—At 6.30 on the evening on the llth of August, 1951, the coastguard reported that the motor yacht Dimcyl was flying a distress signal about two miles north of Lowestoft. She seemed to be trying to make harbour against a strong south-south-west wind and ebb tide.

At 7.0 the life-boat Michael Stephens was launched in a moderately rough sea, and came up with the yacht, escorting her safely into Yarmouth Harbour. The life-boat then made for her station, arriving at 10.20. The skipper of the Dimcyl, which the Caister life-boat had helped on the 9th August, expressed his thanks.— Rewards, £10 2s..
