Dover, Kent.-—At about 1.40 P.M. on the 5th June, 1938, the Sandgate coastguard reported that a yacht had been dismasted half a mile S.S.W. of the Admiralty Pier. A S.W. gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Sir William Hillary put out at 1.46 P.M., and found that the yacht was the Nirvana, of Ardrossan, bound with a crew of four from Dover to Gosport.

The life-boat towed her into the inner harbour and returned to her station at 5.30 P.M.—Property Salvage Case..
