SEPTEMBER 10TH. - GIRVAN, AYRSHIRE.

At 6.15 in the evening the coastguard reported a sailing yacht approaching from the north. The River Girvan was very full of water, which was pouring through the harbour, and he thought that the yacht might find it very difficult to enter harbour.

At 6.30 the motor life-boat Lily Glen - Glasgow was launched and found that the yacht was the Irian, of Girvan. She had three on board.

The life-boat escorted her into harbour, but as she crossed the bar the yacht was struck by the river current and the men found it very difficult to control her. The life-boat passed a rope to them and towed the yacht to her berth. - Rewards, £6 19s. 9d.
