Campbeltown, Argyllshire.—At 8.35 on the evening of the 4th of July, 1956, the Southend coastguard rang up to say that a yacht was ashore at Cleats Point two hundred yards off shore.

The life-boat City of Glasgow II put out at 8.52. There was a moderate sea and a fresh south-easterly breeze,and it was high water. The life-boat found the yacht Nona, of Southamp- ton, with a crew of eight, bumping badly and with heavy seas breaking over her. The yacht was in a very difficult position among the rocks and reefs and swirling seas. A line was fired from the life-boat across the wind and at the first attempt reached the survivors. The yacht's dinghy was then used to take off some of the crew, but at the second attempt it was swamped and sank. The coxswain then ran the life-boat right into the yacht, and the remaining members of yacht were grasped and lifted aboard the life-boat. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 1.30 in the morning.—Rewards to the crew, £12 165.; reward to the helper on shore, 16s..
