WaltonandFrinton, Essex.—About 7.25 on the night of the 8th of August1951, the coastguard telephoned that the Cork Lightvessel had reported a yacht aground on the Cork Sands. At 7.50 the life-boat E.M.E.D. was launched in a smooth sea and a light south-westerly breeze. She found the yacht Duet of Burnham- on-Crouch, five and a half miles east of the Walton coastguard station, with a crew of five aboard. At the request of the owner, the life-boat stood by until 2.0 the following morn- ing, when the Duet refloated. Then she guided her to a safe anchorage, and returned to her station at 3.30.— Rewards, £21 Is..
