Aldeburgh, Suffolk. At 8.23 on the morning of the 26th of July, 1958, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that the yacht Scylla had been in collision with a French trawler. The yacht was moored alongside the Ship- wash lightvessel and her crew needed help. At 8.40 the no. 1 life-boat Abdy Beauclerk was launched in a moderate sea, with a fresh south-westerly wind blowing and an ebb tide. When the life-boat reached the yacht it appeared that if the yacht were escorted by the life-boat she would probably be able to reach Lowestoft under a shortened sail. This course was adopted, and the life-boat finally reached her station at 5.20. Rewards to the crew, £22 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £26 18s. 6d..
