Skegness, Lincolnshire.—At 2.4 early on the morning of the 29th of July, 1956, the coastguard rang up to say that the Lynwell lightvessel had re- ported that the auxiliary yacht Vaga- bond, of Peterborough, which had a crew of two, had broken down and needed help. At 2.40 the life-boat The Cuttle was launched. The sea was choppy, there was a strong south- south-easterly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat made a search and found the Vagabond six miles east of Skegness. She took her in tow and beached her at Wainfleet Haven. After landing the rescued men, she returned to her station, arriving at eleven o'clock. The yachtsmen expressed their thanks and made a donation to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards to the crew, £19 4s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, etc., £5 19s..
