Bembridge. Isle of Wight.—At 1.45 on the afternoon of the 14th of September, 1957. the Foreland coastguard reported that a yacht, which had been kept under observation for some time, had hoisted a distress signal. The life-boat Jesse Lumb was launched at 1.53 in a moderate sea. There was a strong north-westerly breeze and a flooding tide. The life-boat came up with the yacht Joreen, with a crew of three, off the Nab tower. Her engine had broken down, and the life-boat took her in tow to Bembridge harbour.

The life-boat arrived back at her station at 3.30.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 0.9..
