Margate, Kent.—At about noon on the 10th June, 1939, a yacht was seen by a life-boatman ashore on the Margate Sands. A light S.E. breeze was blowing, the sea was smooth. The motor life-boat Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched at 12.20 P.M. with the honorary secretary, Mr.

P. E. W. Gellatly on board. She found the auxiliary yacht Morn, of the Royal Air Force Yacht' Club, near the North Spit Buoy, with three people on board. The life-boat towed her clear of the sands into deep water, and returned to her station at 2 P.M.— Property Salvage Case..
