Mary Ann
St. Mary's, Scilly Isles. At ten o'clock on the morning of the 4th of October, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a yacht was in difficulties seven miles east of St. Agnes lighthouse. At 10.42 the life-boat Guy and Clare Hunter was launched in a rough sea. There was a moderate south-westerly wind and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the yacht Mary Ann of Aberystwyth with two people on board. She had been on passage to New Zealand, but her rudder had broken. The life-boat took her in tow to St. Mary's, arriving at two o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £12 5s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8s.
