Ramsgate, Kent. — During the after- noon of the 6th of June, 1949, the honorary secretary had under observa- tion a sailing yawl cruising near the Brake Sands. In the evening she arrived off Ramsgate Harbour, but was carried eastwards with .the ebb-tide, and was lost to view in a fog bank.

After consultation with the coast- guard, the honorary secretary sent out the life-boat Prudential at 8.40. A light south-westerly wind was blowing with a moderate sea. The life-boat found the yawl a mile east-north-east of the harbour. Her anchor was down, but it was dragging. She was the Lady Audrey with a crew of two, eight days out from Holland, short of both fuel and food. The life-boat towed her into Ramsgate Harbour, arriving at 9.35 that night.—Rewards, £7 8s..
