Weymouth, Dorset.—-At 4.40 in the afternoon of the 30th of November, 1951, the Wyke Regis coastguard telephoned that a fifteen ton auxiliary yacht was flashing SOS signals three miles west of Portland Bill. The sea was rough, with a fresh westerly breeze blowing. At 4.50 the life-boat William and Clara Ryland left her moorings and found the yacht two and a half miles west of the Bill. The yacht was the Penguin, with four on board. Her engine had broken down. The life- boat towed her to Weymouth Quay, and reached her station again at 9.20 that night.—Property Salvage Case..
