Margate, Kent.—The reserve motor life-boat J. B. Proudfoot. on temporary duty at this station, was .launched at 8.20 A.M. on the 4th July as the coastguard had reported that a small sailing boat, with her sails blown away, was flying a signal of distress, about a mile and a half east of Margate jetty. A W.S.W. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The life-boat picked up the boat—the Lulu, of Broadstairs, with one man on board-—and towed her into harbour. She returned to her station at 9.20 A.M.—Rewards, £6 4s..
