Dream

The Lizard, Cornwall. At 10.30 on the morning of the 9th of July, 1959, the honorary secretary was informed that a motor yacht appeared to be in difficul- ties off Mullion Cove, and he tried without success to obtain the services of a local boat. The yacht fired distress signals at 11.57, and the life-boat Duke of York was launched twelve minutes later. There was a moderate sea with a strong northerly wind blowing and an ebb tide. The life-boat found the yacht Dream, which had a crew of two, with her engines broken down. She took her in tow to Newlyn and reached her station at 6.15. Rewards to the crew, £12 4s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 12s..
