Weymouth, Dorset.—At 3.16 on the morning of the llth of August, 1957, the Wyke Regis coastguard telephoned that a distress signal had been seen two miles south of Portland Bill. At 3.40 the life-boat William and Clara Kyland put out in a very rough sea with a westerly gale blowing. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the yacht Inschallah, of Ham- burg, with a crew of six. She had shipped a lot of water but was making good progress. At her master's re- quest the life-boat escorted her to Weymouth harbour, arriving at 5.40.
