Walton and Frinton, Essex. At 11.25 on the night of the 13th of August, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a message had been received from the Norwegian tanker Sagona that red flares had been seen east of the West Sunk buoy. At 11.50 the life-boat Edian Courtauld put out in a rough sea. A moderate west-south- westerly wind was blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat made for the position, and when she had reached the Sunk Towers a flare was seen off the Longsand Head buoy. The life-boat altered course in the direction of the flare and found the yacht Nicolinda of Harwich with a crew of three. The yacht was leaking and rolling heavily, and the life-boat took her in tow to Harwich, arriving there at 4.15 on the morning of the 14th of August. She then returned to her station, arriving at 6.15. Rewards to the crew, £18 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 3s..
