Ramsgate, Kent.—About 10.33 in the morning of the 15th of August, 1948, the coastguard reported that a yacht, which had been heading for the Goodwin Sands, had ignored a warning fired by the East Goodwin Lightship and was now lost to sight. The motor life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 10.38 in a moderate south-westerly breeze with a slight sea. She found the auxiliary yacht Maybe, of Calais, with a crew of three, off North Goodwin Banks. She was in a dangerous posi- tion so the life-boat towed her to the harbour and arrived back at her station at 12.5 that afternoon.—Rewards, £6 13s..
