YACHT ESCORTED UP RIVER New Brighton, Cheshire. At 11.40 on the morning of the 22nd June, 1963, a message was received that a yacht needed help north of Rock lighthouse, and ten minutes later the life-boat White Star, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings with the bowman in command. There was a fresh west-north-west wind and a moderate sea, and the tide was flooding. The lifeboat made a search and found the yacht The'rese, with a crew of two, off the lighthouse. The yacht's engine had broken down, but her crew had managed to restait it, and the life-boat escorted her up river as far as the lower buoy, reaching her station at 12.30..
