OCTOBER 27TH. - PORT ST. MARY, ISLE OF MAN. At 3.30 in the afternoon the coastguard telephoned that a small yacht was flying a distress signal south-east of Scarlett Point. A strong westerly wind was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Sir Heath Harrison war, launched at four o’clock and found the yacht Arrow, of Derbyhaven, one mile off Castletown. She had a man and a woman on board. They were exhausted.

They had left Castletown earlier in the day when the weather was fine, to sail to Derbyhaven, but the ebb tide and increasing wind had taken them off their course, and had blown away their sails, and they were being carried out to sea. The life-boat took the yacht in tow and brought her to Port St. Mary at 5.20.
