Margate, Kent.—At about 4.30 P.M.

on the 29th May, 1938, the coastguard reported that a motor yacht was ashore on the north part of Margate Sands.

The weather was squally, with a southerly wind and a rough sea on the sands. At 4.50 P.M. the motor life-boat Lord Soulhborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched, and found the motor yacht Mar-g-habi, of London, hard on the sands, with a crew of five on board.

The life-boat stood by until the flood tide, when the yacht refloated, and then escorted her into harbour.—Rewards, £18 125..
