SPEED BOAT WITH PROPELLER GONE Ramsgate, Kent.—At 3.45 in the afternoon of the 10th of July, 1947, the coastguard reported a small motor boat in difficulties one mile off Dumpton Gap and a man on board waving a flag.

The motor life-boat Prudential was launched at 3.58, in a fresh south- westerly breeze and a rough sea, and found the motor speed-boat Flying Spray, of Broadstairs. She had lost her propeller and was anchored. There was only the one man on board. The life-boat towed him into the inner harbour and returned to her station, arriving at 5.45.—Rewards, 13s.
