Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. At 9.20 on the evening of the 4th of June, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the police at Lymington had reported a small boat in distress off the West Lepe buoy. At 9.35 the life-boat S.G.E. put out, two hours after high water, in a light easterly breeze and a smooth sea. She found a speedboat with two people on board.

The boat's engine had broken down and the life-boat took her in tow to Yarmouth, arriving at 10.40. The owner of the speedboat made a gift to the Institution's funds. Rewards to the crew, £8..
