The Lizard, Cornwall.—At 3.9 on the afternoon of the 26th of June, 1955, the coastguard reported that the yacht Enchantress, of St. Ives, which had three naval officers on board, had capsized half a mile south of The Lizard signal station, throwing the men into the sea. Four men, who were mackerel fishing in a 12-feet punt near by, immediately went to the yacht and rescued the three officers.

With seven on board the punt was overloaded, and at 3.29 the life-boat Duke of York was launched. The sea was slight, there was a light south- westerly breeze, and it was one hour before low water. As the punt reached Polpeor safely, the life-boat made for the Enchantress, which she found waterlogged. She towed her to Cadgwith and then returned to her station, arriving at 6.50. The owner expressed his appreciation.—Rewards to the crew, £6 18,?.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 13s..
