Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—At 5.50 in the evening of the 1st of September, 1951, the coastguard reported that the yacht Alethea II, of Harwich, was aground at the mouth of the River Aide. Her crew of three were able to walk ashore. Later she refloated, but at 7.35 the following morning the coastguard telephoned that she had grounded again and was high and dry on the main beach. The owner then asked for the life-boat, and at ten o'clock the No. 1 life-boat, Abdy Beau- clerk, was launched with the second coxswain in command. There was a moderate swell, with a light west- north-west breeze blowing. The life- boat pulled the yacht clear, towed her to Waldringfield and arrived back at her station at 4.0 that afternoon.— Property Salvage Case..
