Filey, Yorkshire.—At 3.48 on the afternoon of the 15th of September, 1957, the coastguard reported that a yacht had capsized in Filey Bay.

The life-boat The Isa and Penryn Milsted was launched at 4.5 in a moder- ate swell. There was a strong west- north-westerly breeze and the tide was flooding. The yacht Rustler was found drifting out to sea. She had lost her rudder and had capsized twice.

The life-boat took her crew of two aboard and the yacht was lashed to her side. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.2.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 Is..
