During the afternoon of the 28th July the Sandgate coast- guard telephoned that a yacht with engine trouble was dragging her anchors off Cock Point, near Folkestone. A strong S.W. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat City of Nottingham was launched at 3.15 P.M., and found the yacht to be the Leonora Minnie, of Brixham, with five people on board bound for Scarborough for the tunny fishing. The life-boatmen went aboard to help lift the anchors, but found that the winch had broken down. A tow rope was then passed to the yacht, she slipped her anchors, and the life-boat towed her into Folke- stone. A Folkestone fishing trawler came out and also gave her help. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 5.50 P.M. Mr. G. S. Woodman, joint honorary secretary, accompanied the life-boat on service. Men of the 2nd Battalion of the East Surrey Regiment helped to launch the life-boat, and later all ranks contributed to a collection for the Institution.—Rewards, £9 17*..
