Skegness, Lincolnshire.—At 9.20 on the evening of the 18th of July, 1954, a life-boatman, who was at Gibraltar Point, reported that a yacht was flying a distress signal three miles south- south-west of Skegness. At 9.50 the life-boat The Cuttle was launched in a choppy sea. There was a strong north-westerly breeze, and it was one hour after high water. The life-boat found the Venture, a converted ship's boat fitted with an auxiliary engine, with two people on board. She had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Wainfleet Haven and reached her station again at three o'clock on the morning of the 19th. The owner made a donation to the Institution.—- Rewards, £18 3s..
