A Yacht (1)

Portrush, Co. Antrim. At 1.58 on the morning of the 9th of August, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a small yacht from Moville was overdue. After further enquiries had been made the life-boat Lady Scott (Civil Service No. 4) was launched in a calm sea. There were light south- westerly airs and a flood tide. The life- boat found the yacht off Magilligan, towed her to Greencastle and reached her station at 7.30. Rewards to the crew, £9 16s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
