Margate, Kent. — At about 8.45 P.M.

on the 16th November, 1937, the coastguard reported that a vessel near the Long Nose Rock, two miles east of the life-boathouse, was burning flares. A fresh E.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched at 9.10 P.M., and found the motor yacht Peggy, of Lowestoft, broken down about a mile east of the jetty. There was only one man on board and he was exhausted. The Peggy had left Harwich during the morning for Shoreham, but she had lost her rudder and become unmanageable.

The life-boat towed her intoharbour. As the sea was too rough for the life-boat to be rehoused, she was left at moorings at 10.30 P.M. She was rehoused on the morning of the 18th.— Rewards, £20 4s..
