Ramsgate, Kent. — At 8.50 in the morning of the 20th of September, 1948, the coastguard reported that a yacht three miles to the north-north- west was flying a two-flag signal and appeared to have stopped in an unusual position. The motor life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 8.58, in a moderate north-westerly breeze with a moderate sea, and found the auxiliary yacht Mascotte, of London, with a crew of four. She had run out of fuel and had anchored. Three life-boatmen boarded her and the life-boat took her in tow, arriving back at her station at 10.55.
