Margate, Kent.—About seven o'clock in the evening of the 7th of August, 1949, the coastguard reported a motor yacht ashore on Margate Sands four and a half miles north-west of the lookout, and the life-boat The Lord Southborough, Civil Service No. 1 was launched at 7.45. A fresh east-south- east wind was blowing, but a gale warn- ing had been received, and the sea was moderately rough on the sands. The life-boat found the motor yacht Flylyte, of London, with a crew of two, bound from Hole Haven to Ramsgate. She was just about to re-float on the rising tide, but as darkness was coming on she asked the life-boat to escort her to Margate. They arrived at 10.45. After the Flylyte had been moored in the har bour the life-boat was re-housed at one in the morning.—Rewards, £14 2s. 6d..
