Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—At 9.6 on the night of the 15th of September, 1957, the Foreland coastguard passed on a report that red flares had been seen on the outer boom near Horse Sand fort. The life-boat Jesse Lumb was launched at 9.18 in a slight sea.

There was a gentle north-westerly breeze and it was low water. The life- boat found the yacht Rohilla, of Chichester, with a crew of two school- masters and four boys by the boom.

She took her in tow and arrived back at her station at 12.20.—Rewards to the crew. £8 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 55..
