Weymouth, Dorset.—At 7.26 on the morning of the 21st of August, 1956, the Wyke Regis coastguard reported that a small yacht was waving a flag two miles south-west of Wyke look- out hut. The life-boat William and Clara Ryland was launched at 7.40.

There was a calm sea, with a light westerly breeze blowing, and a flood tide. The life-boat came up with the Mary Rose of Brixham, with a crew of three, and found that her engine had failed. She towed her to Weymouth, which was reached at 11.10.—Rewards to the crew, £9 16s..
