Salcombe, Devon.—At 10.10 on the night of the 23rd of September, 1955, the Hope Cove coastguard telephoned that a yacht was becalmed and flash- ing a light half a mile south-west of Prawle Point. Fifteen minutes later the life-boat C.D.E.C., on temporary duty at the station, put out, with the honorary secretary, Commander A. C.

Roberts, R.N., on board. The sea was smooth, there was a light variable breeze, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the sailing yacht Little Zahry, with a crew of two, one and a half miles south-east of Prawle Point.

She was drifting with the tide, and at the request of her crew the life-boat towed her to Sa'combe and reached her station again at 1.10 early on the 24th.—Rewards to the crew £8 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 4s..
