Peganda

Dover, Kent.—At 7.40 in the evening of the 1st of August, 1949, a yacht was seen by the life-boat mechanic to have broken down outside the harbour, and at 8 o'clock the life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings. A moderate south-westerly gale was blowing with a very rough sea. The life-boat found the motor yacht Peganda, of Grimsby, two miles north east by east. She had a crew of five. They had got the" engine going again, and the life-boat escorted them into the harbour. She then put out again to St. Margarets Bay to another yacht, which was running short of fuel, escorted her into harbour, and reached her station again at 10.15 that night.—Rewards, £6 18s..
