Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.—At 4.25 on the afternoon of the 16th of June, 1953, the Needles coastguard rang up to say the Royal Lymington yacht club had reported that a fourteen-foot dinghy had capsized off Hurst Point; that another fourteen-feet dinghy was in difficulties; and that a motor boat which had put out to help had broken down. At 4.35 the life-boat S.G.E.

put to sea and made a search in a choppy sea with a fresh south-westerly breeze. She found the capsized dinghy but saw nothing of the other dinghy and motor boat. She towed the capsized dinghy to harbour, arriving at 6.10. Donations were made to the funds of the Institution by those who had chartered the yacht and by the committee and members of the yacht club.—Rewards, £5 ISs..
