Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. At 1.15 on the afternoon of the 16th of June, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small sailing dinghy had capsized one mile south of Milford-on- Sea. Two of her crew had swum ashore and two more were clinging to the dinghy. At 1.28 the life-boat S.G.E.

put out in a slight sea with a gentle south-south-westerly breeze blowing and a flood tide. While the life-boat was making for the casualty a message was received by radio-telephone at 1.42 that a helicopter had rescued the two people in the water. The life-boat continued on her course, took the sailing dinghy in tow and reached her moorings at 3.30. Rewards to the crew, £4..
