New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 12.5 oil the afternoon of the 3rd of July, 1955, the life-boat coxswain received a message from the Wallasey Ya;ht Club that two yachts had capsized half a mile north-west of Rock Light. Ten minutes later the life-boat Norman U.

Corlett put out. The sea was rough, there was a strong north-westerly breeze, and it was one hour after high water. A motor launch had had seven yachts in all in tow, but two had broken adrift and capsized. Just as the life-boat arrived the motor launch took the two which had capsized in tow again. The life-boat escorted the motor launch and the yachts to New Brighton and reached her station again at 1.10.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £l 4s..
