A Sailing Yacht

JUNE 10TH. - HOWTH, CO. DUBLIN.

At 10.20 at night a telephone call was received from the owner of a sailing yacht, that the yacht, with his son, his sister and a man on board, was being driven out to sea by a strong off-shore wind, from the west-northwest.

The sea was choppy, but the weather clear. At 10.30 the motor life-boat R.P.L. was launched and found the yacht, which had become unmanageable, three miles north of Bar of Malahide. She rescued the three on board and towed the yacht to Howth.- Rewards, £9 13s..
