New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 6.50 on the evening of the 25th of Septem- ber, 1953, the life-boat motor mechanic reported that he had seen a yacht on the Burbo Bank. Later she was reported to be high and dry. At 9.15 the life-boat Norman B. Corlett put out in a calm sea and light breeze, taking her boarding boat with her.

She went as close as she could to the yacht, which was found to be the Minx, with one man on board. Three life- boatmen took the boarding boat to the yacht and towed her to the life-boat, which then took her to New Brighton, arriving at 10.30.—Rewards, £6 2s..
