Rousalka

Filey, Yorkshire.—At 10.15 on the night of the 25th of July, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that a man had reported that a yacht was drifting three miles east-north-east of Filey Brigg Buoy. At 10.55 the life-boat The Isa & Penryn Milsted was launched in a calm sea. The weather was fair, and it was an hour and a half before high water. The life-boat came up with the sailing yacht Rousalka, which had two people on board, off Speeton cliff, towed her to safety and reached her station again at 12.30 earlv on the 26th.—Rewards, £11 8s..
