ENGLISH COAST STORM
HOLIDAY CRAFT ENDANGERED [BRITISH OFFICIAL WIEELESS.] RUGBY, August 12. A storm in the Channel and off the East Coast of England imperilled many yachts and other small craft yesterday, and a number of rescues was effected. In the early morning, the Clacton lifeboat was launched, to search for the pleasure steamer, Clacton Queen, which, with 600 passengers on board, was much overdue on the passage from Chatham. She arrived six hours late, about 4 o’clock this morning, with all on board safe.
The storm completely spoiled the last day’s racing of the Royal Yacht Squadron regatta at Cowes, and several dinghies capsized, but assistance was promptly at hand, and the occupants were rescued. .
