St. Ives, Cornwall. At 10.5 on the evening of the 17th of August, 1959, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the yacht Taiseer, which was anchored at the entrance to St.

Ives harbour, was making distress signals. At 10.10 the life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched in a calm sea with a light south-south-easterly breeze blowing and an ebb tide. She found the yacht, which had a crew of two, aground, refloated her and helped her to a safe anchorage. The life-boat reached her station at three o'clock in the morning.

Rewards to the crew, £8 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £10 15s..
