MAN AND BABY TAKEN OFF YACHT Poole, Dorset. At 9.10 on the evening of the 29th September, 1962, the police informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was missing inside the harbour with a man and a baby on board. The yacht had grounded at 5.30 and the man's wife had been put ashore by a passing craft. When the owner went to look for his vessel he found that the yacht was no longer in the position where she had grounded. The life-boat Bassett Green left her moorings at 9.20 in a south-easterly gale and a rough sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat found the yacht Margara Delia at anchor, and the man and baby were taken on board. They were landed at Poole quay, and the life-boat reached her station at 11.12..
