Donora

Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.—At 10.45 on the night of the 29th of March, 1957, the Needles coastguard telephoned that a small vessel had been seen drifting towards Chale Bay. Her engines were not working and she was tiring red flares. The life-boat S.G.E.

put out at 10.58 in a moderate sea.

There was a moderate easterly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the motor yacht Donora with a crew of two, off Black- gang Chine. The Donora was taken in tow to Yarmouth Harbour, arriving there at 4.30.—Property Salvage Case..
