Marzealine

Weymouth. Dorset.—At 1.12 on the afternoon of the 1st of August, 1956, a local sailing club asked if the life- boat would put off to the help of the yacht Marzealine, of Le Havre, which, after going ashore, had refloated but was in danger of going ashore again at Castle Cove. At 1.35 the life-boat William and Clara Ryland was launched. The sea was rough, there was a south-south-westerly gale, and the tide was ebbing-. The life-boat found the yacht, which had a crew of" four, bumping ashore. The life-boat crew fired a line to her, took her in tow, and returned to Weymouth with her, arriving at 3.18.—Property Sal- vage Case..
