JULY 23RD. - BEAUMARIS, ANGLESEY.

While on passage from the Clyde to Littlehampton, the yacht Dolphin was storm-bound off Penmon Point. She was storm-bound for two days and her crew of two were short of food and water. As the yacht had no engine and her sails had been damaged, they were unable to make the passage up the Menai Straits and signalled the coastguard of their plight. No other suitable boat was available and the motor life-boat Field Marshal and Mrs. Smuts was launched at 5.15 in the afternoon. The sea was rough and a strong south-westerly breeze was blowing.

The crew of the yacht declined an offer to tow them up the straits and, at their request, the life-boat landed one of the men to get food. She returned to her station, arriving at seven o’clock. - Rewards, £5 4s. 6d.
