Girvan, Ayrshire.—At 10.45 on th? night of the 21st of September, 1957, the Portpatrick coastguard telephoned that a small yacht had left Cairnryan that afternoon for Ballantrae but had not arrived, and anxiety was felt for her. The life-boat Robert Lindsay put out at 11.10 in a moderate sea. There was a strong easterly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing. Guided by an electric torch which was shone from the yacht, the life-boat came up with the yacht four miles south of Ballan- trae. She took her crew of two on board and towed the yacht to Girvan, which was reached at 4.30 the next morning.—Rewards to the crew, £12 13s.; reward to the helper on shore, 12s..
