Minehead, Somerset. At 9.50 on the evening of the 8th of August, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a dismasted yacht appeared to be broken down and in need of help in Bridgwater Bay. Further enquiries were made and, when the report was confirmed, the life-boat B.H.M.H. was launched at 10.25 in a gentle westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was two hours after high water. The life-boat came up with the yacht Pam, which had a crew of three, some seven miles east of Minehead. She towed the yacht to harbour and arrived back at her station at six o'clock in the morning. Rewards to the crew, £13 13s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 15s..
