Dover, Kent.—At one in the morning of the 6th of October, 1948, the Eastern Arm Signal Station reported that a yacht was making S.O.S. signals in Langdon Bay,, and at 1.20 the motor life-boat J. B. Proudfoot was launched.

The south-easterly breeze was light, but there was a swell. The life-boat found the yacht Warragaburra, of London, with a crew of two, at anchor. Her engine had broken down. She was roll- ing heavily and was dragging towards the rocks. A life-boatman boarded her to help secure a tow rope and weigh the anchor, and the life-boat then towed her to the harbour, arriving back at her station at 3 o'clock.—Property Salvage Case..
