Brevet

TWO YACHTS TOWED IN Margate, Kent.—About 8.0 in the evening of the 4th of April, 1947, the motor yacht Brevet with seven on board, broke away from her moorings alongside the pier with a rope round her propeller and began to drift. A strong northerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. At 8.15, in answer to her signals of distress, the motor life-boat Lord Southborough, Civil Service No. I, was launched, picked up the yacht near the Nay land Rocks, and towed her in, arriving at 11.0 that night.— Property Salvage Case..
