Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.—At 3.37 on the afternoon of the 25th of September, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that a yacht two miles west-south-west of Clacton Pier appeared to need help, and at 3.45 the life-boat Sir Godfrey Baring was launched. There was a moderate swell with a moderate wes- terly breeze blowing, and she found the yacht Airborne, of London, with two men in her, three miles west of the pier. Her sails were damaged, she was leaking, and the men were soaking wet. The life-boatmen rescued them, gave them rum, food and dry clothing, and towed the yacht to Brightlingsea, reaching their station again at eight o'clock.—Rewards, £13 11s. 9d..
