Howth, Co. Dublin.—Two yachts were overdue from a local yacht race on the 17th of June, 1951. A message was received that one of them had been in trouble and was being towed by the other, so the life-boat decided to put out. At 4.30 that afternoon the life-boat R.P.L. was launched in a choppy sea, with a very fresh south- westerly breeze blowing. She found the yachts one and a half miles north of the harbour. The yacht Pauline, of Howth, with a crew of three, had broken her tiller, so the life-boat took over the tow from the other yacht and towed the Pauline to Howth. They reached it at 5.30 in the evening.— Rewards, £4 17s. 6d..
