A Yacht

Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.—At 3.37 on the afternoon of the 21st of June, 1953, the coastguard rang up to say that a yacht had capsized and that a man was in the sea off Holland Haven.

At 3.45 the life-boat Sir Godfrey Baring was launched in a slight swell with a light south-south-west breeze blowing, but another yacht picked up the man.

The life-boat towed in the capsized yacht and reached her station again at 4.50.—Rewards. £8..
