Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—At 4.4 on the afternoon of the 15th of May, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that during racing held by a local yacht club a Merlin sailing dinghy, the Punch, had capsized one and a half miles south- west-by-west of the harbour. Another yacht capsized in the same position ten minutes later. A club launch was near the spot and went to the Punch, but the launch needed further help, and at 5.5 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched. There was a slight sea, and a moderate breeze was blowing from the north-east. The life-boat rescued one of the Punch's crew of two, arid the launch rescued the other. The launch then went to the help of the second yacht, and the life-boat towed in the Punch, reach- ing her station again at 6.48.— Rewards, £7 8s..
