At 1.15 A.M. on the 23rd August the coxswain was told by the coastguard that a small vessel was burning distress signals about one mile N.E. of Lade coastguard station, A moderate southerly gale was blowing, with a choppy sea, and thick rain at times. The No. 2 motor life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched at 1.57 A.M., and after a difficult search owing to very bad visibility found the vessel. She was the yacht Tinker, of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, with three persons on board. She had parted from her anchor and was drifting. At the request of her master the life-boat got a line aboard, and towed the yacht into Folkestone harbour, saving both the yacht and those on board. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 6.25 A.M. The owner expressed his thanks and sent a donation.—Re- wards, £29 11s..
