AUGUST 2ND. - DONAGHADEE, CO. DOWN;. At 5.40 P.M. the police telephoned that a small yacht had overturned about half a mile out at sea, and that three persons were clinging to it. A light squally N. wind was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Civil Service No. 5 left her moorings at 5.50 P.M, the honorary secretary, Mr.

David McKibbin, going out as assistant motor-mechanic, as the regular man was absent. The life-boat found the overturned yacht with all sail set, but there was no trace of the crew. A message was then received that another boat had rescued them and had taken them to Millisle. The life-boatmen cut the yacht’s halyards so that the saildropped, and towed the yacht to Donaghadee harbour, where she arrived at 7.15 P.M. One of the three people who had been on the yacht sent a subscription to the life-boat station. - Rewards, £5 16s. 6d..
