Walton and Frinton, Essex.—At 2.52 on the afternoon of the 1st of Septem- ber, 1957, the coastguard reported that a yacht had capsized south of the pier head. The life-boat Edian Court- auld put out at 3.5 in a slight sea.

There was a light south-westerly breeze and the tide was flooding. A fishing boat closed the yacht and took her crew of two aboard. When the the life-boat arrived the yacht was righted, and the life-boat towed her to the central beach breakwater. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 3.35. The owner of the yacht expressed his thanks.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 175..
