LIFE-BOAT FINDS YACHT'S TENDER Walton and Frinton, Essex. At 11.30 on the morning of the 6th August, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that he could see a boat drifting about three miles off Walton, but that there appeared to be no one on board. As there was a yacht still unaccounted for, the life-boat Edian Courtauld put out at 12.16 to investigate.

There was a light south-easterly breeze, the sea was slight, and the tide was flooding.

The life-boat found an empty 8-foot pram dinghy between three and four miles to the south-south-east and took her in tow. She then made for her station, but on the way she met the yacht Pandora, whose owner stated that the dinghy was his yacht's tender. The life-boat handed the dinghy over and then returned to her station, arriving at 1.5. The yachtsman made a donation to the funds of the Institution..
