Sennen Cove, Cornwall - At 6.59 p.m.

on 16th April, 1969, it was learnt that a two-masted schooner yacht had broken down about one mile south of Tol Pedn. The life-boat was requested to stand by. The yacht then resumed her passage, but broke down again close to the Runnelstone buoy. At 7.58 the life-boat Susan Ashley was launched. The life-boat came up with the yacht Mahe, with a crew of two on board, and took her in tow to Newlyn, arriving there at 10.45. Owing to the state of the tide the life-boat remained at Newlyn until 2 a.m., and returned to her station at 4.50 on 17th April..
