ENGINE FAILED, SAIL CARRIED AWAY Walmer, Kent.—At 8.17 on the night of the 9th of September, 1947, the Deal coastguard telephoned that the auxili- ary yacht Amulet needed a tow one mile east of St. Margarets Bay. The motor life-boat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No. 2) was launched at 8.25 in a moderate south-west breeze, with a moderate sea, and found the yacht with her main sail carried away and her engine broken down. She had a crew of two and was bound from Ply- mouth to Rochester. Two life-boat- men went on board the Amulet and the life-boat towed her into Ramsgate.

She arrived back at her station half an hour 'after midnight.—Property Salvage Case..
