JUNE 21ST. - SOUTHEND - ON - SEA, ESSEX. At about 2.35 P . M . a message was received from the Shoeburyness Garrison that a small yacht appeared to be in difficulties off Shoebury. Then a second message came that the yacht had capsized.

A strong N.E. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The reserve motor life-boat The Brothers, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 2.55 P.M. She found the yacht to be the Redshank, of Shoeburyness.

There was no sign of her crew. The life-boat righted the yacht and towed her ashore, returning to her station at 4.45 P.M. It was learnt later that the Redshank’s crew of two had been picked up by a boat from Shoebury.
