Sevona

Weymouth, Dorset. At 8.40 on the morning of the 31st of October, 1958, the coastguard at Wyke Regis told the honorary secretary that a motor yacht had broken down three miles south- west of Portland and that H.M. frigate Murray had left Portland to give assistance. At 9.5 the life-boat Frank Spiller Locke put out in a slight sea, with a light north-westerly wind blow- ing and a flood tide. When the life- boat reached the position she found the frigate standing by the motor yacht Sevona, which had a crew of three.

The life-boat towed the yacht to Wey- mouth, which was reached at 12.45.

Rewards to the crew, £10 10s..
