Weymouth, Dorset.—At 10.14 on the morning of the 20th of August, 1957, the Wykc Reg-is coastguard telephoned a report that the yacht Rona had developed a bad leak one mile west of St. Alban's Head. The life-boat Wil- liam and Clara Ryland was launched at 10.25 in a moderate sea. There was a moderate south-west-by-wester- ly breeze and the tide was flooding.

The life-boat found the yacht Rona, with a crew of three, and took the vessel in tow. She then returned to Weymouth, arriving at 4.25.—Re- wards to the crew, £12 13*..
