Margate, Kent.—At 1.15 i n the afternoon of the 5th of October, 1948, a tug with a yacht in tow was seen five miles to the northward, making little headway, and at 2.30 the coastguard telephoned that she appeared to have broken down and was driving on to the sands. The motor life-boat Lord Southborough, Civil Service No. 1 was launched at 2.50. The north-easterly breeze was moderate, but the sea rough. The life-boat found the tug Beaulieu, of Southampton, with a crew of three, anchored three and a half miles to the north-north-east. A steam-pipe was broken, her bilge pumps would not work and she was listing heavily. The life-boat stood by while repairs were made and arrived back at her station at 5 o'clock.-—Rewards, £12 19s. 6d..
