Cyrhenn

Exmouth, Devon. At 2.25 on the morning of the 25th of August, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that a yacht was ashore on Maer Rocks. The life-boat Maria Noble was launched at 2.55 in a heavy groundswell. There was a moderate south- westerly wind and a flood tide. The life-boat made for the position in heavy rain and found the yacht Cyrhenn with a crew of two. A tow rope was connected and the yacht towed to Exmouth docks. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at four o'clock.

Rewards to the crew, £6 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 10s..
