A Yacht (6)

Portrush, Co. Antrim. At 6.23 on the evening of the 7th of June, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a small yacht was in diffi- culties off Ramrose Head. The life- boat Lady Scott (Civil Service No. 4) put out at 6.30 in a light to moderate south-westerly breeze with a choppy sea.

It was two hours after high water. The life-boat came up with the yacht and took on board four people. She then towed the yacht back to harbour, arriv- ing at 7.25. Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
