SEPTEMBER 29TH. - LYTHAM-ST. ANNES, LANCASHIRE. At 11.45 in the morning the life-boat coxswain, while on the pier at Lytham, saw a sailing yacht coming up the river with her mast and sail overboard. A strong easterly wind was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Dunleary was launched at noon and met the yacht seven hundred yards west of Lytham Pier.

She was the Kismet, of Preston, with two on board. Besides her damaged mast, she was half full of water and her engine was flooded.

The life-boat towed her to Preston and returned to her station, at four that afternoon.
