Cloughey, Co. Down.—At 3.35 on the afternoon of the 26th of June, 1957, the motor mechanic and bowman reported to the honorary secretary that a small yacht was aground on North Rock. At four o'clock the life-boat Constance Calverley was launched in a slight swell. There was a light southerly breeze blowing and it was one hour before low water. The life- boat came up with the yacht Tafner 2nd, of Glasgow, and found that her crew of three had been taken off by a fishing boat skippered by the Cloughey ex-coxswain. The life-boat stood by the yacht in order to refloat her at high water. Meanwhile the yacht's crew were landed at Porta- vogie harbour by the fishing boat Later, however, the life-boat was recalled to Portavogie harbour in order to take the crew back to their yacht, as they wished to be present when the yacht was refloated. The life-boat took the men out, and when the yacht was refloated towed her into Portavogie harbour, arriving at eight o'clock. The life-boat returned to her station the next day. The owner made a donation to the Institution's funds.
