Peel, Isle of Man.—At 9.50 on the morning of the 29th of May, 1955, the honorary secretary noticed that one of the yachts in the race round the island had been dismasted. At 10.20 the life-boat Helena Harris-Manchester and District XXXI was launched on service for the first time. The sea was slight, a moderate breeze was blowing from south-east-by-east, and it was one hour before low water. The life- boat came up with the yacht Nahula, which had a crew of three, one mile north of Peel, towed her to the har- bour and reached her station again at . 11.30.—Rewards to the crew, £4 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 6s..
