JUNE 5TH. - PORT ST. MARY, ISLE OF MAN. At eleven in the morning the Castletown coastguard reported a small yacht in Derbyhaven Bay flying a signal. A later message said that she had lost her small boat and that her cable had parted. A moderate south-westerly gale was blowing, and the sea was very rough. The motor life-boat Sir Heath Harrison was launched at 11.30, and found the racing yacht Aileena, of Glasgow, dragging her anchor. She had four on board. They did not wish to leave her and asked the lifeboat to put out a second anchor for them.

This she did. The yacht crew still refused to leave and lowered their signal. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 3.10 that afternoon. - Rewards, £13 14s..
