Bridlington, Yorkshire.—On the after- noon of the 10th of June, 1956, the honorary secretary saw a yacht in distress three miles south of the life- boat station. At 3.48 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched in a very rough sea. A strong northerly gale was blowing and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the yacht Lassiette, of Bridling- ton, with her sail torn and her anchor fouled. She had a crew of three.

After great difficulty her anchor was weighed, and she was towed to harbour, arriving at 5.55. Because of the state of the tide the life-boat could not be rehoused until 9.25. The owner made a donation to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards to the crew, £8 14s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 7s..
