Walton and Frinton, Essex.—At 3.27 on the morning of the 20th of June, 1955,the Walton-on-the-Naze coastguard telephoned that the Galloper light- vessel had reported that a motor yacht two miles north-east of the light- vessel had fired red rockets. At 4.5 the life-boat Edian Courtauld put out.

There was a heavy swell, a fresh westerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was half ebb. The motor yacht, Shahjehan, of Brightlingsea, which had broken down with a crew of six, managed to reach the lightvessel under sail and limited engine power.

She made fast to her, and the light- vessel wirelessed this news to the life- boat. The life-boat came up with the yacht at eight o'clock. She towed her to Walton River, reaching her station again at 1.30. The owner expressed his thanks.—Property Sal- vage Case..
