Newhaven, Sussex.—At 8.55 on the morning of the 27th of October, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that a yacht was close inshore at Rotting- dean, but that she did not appear to be in immediate danger. At 9.15 the coastguard stated that the yacht was showing distress signals, and at 9.25 the life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott put out in a flooding tide. The sea was heavy, and a strong breeze was blowing from the south-west. The life-boat found the yacht Gwendoline half a mile off Rottingdean, with one man on board, towed her to Newhaven harbour, and reached her station again at 11.30. —Rewards, £11 Qs. Gd..
