JULY 14TH. - NEW BRIGHTON, CHESHIRE.

About one in the afternoon a yacht was seen drifting out to sea. It was uncertain if there was anyone on board. A moderate north-westerly gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The No. 2 motor life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson was sent out to investigate, and left at 1.9. She found the yacht Vaila in the Crosby Channel.

No one was on board. Two life-boatmen boarded her and secured a tow-rope. The life-boat towed her to New Brighton and moored her there at 1.50. - Rewards, £5 5s..
