Scarborough, Yorkshire - At 8.10 p.m.

on 12th October, 1966, the Scarborough lighthouse keeper informed the honorary secretary that a small yacht was in a dangerous position off the South bay. The life-boat J. G. Graves of Sheffield was launched at 9.20 hi a strong south easterly wind and a rough sea. The tide was at three-quarter ebb. She found the yacht Dianne in very shallow water and, after taking soundings several times, secured a line to the casualty and towed her into deep water. She then stood by the yacht until there was sufficient water to tow her into harbour. After ensuring that the yacht was safely moored the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 12.40 a.m. on I3th October..
