Ramsgate, Kent.—About nine o'clock in the morning of the llth of August, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that the crew of a Dutch yacht, three- quarters of a mile south of Ramsgate, were waving flags and clothing, and the life-boat Prudential was launched at 9.11. A light west-south-west wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. The life-boat found the auxiliary cutter yacht Maria Lecina, of Leyden, with five on board. Her engine had broken down, and not being familiar with Ramsgate she had hesitated to come in under sail. The life-boat took the yacht in tow and brought her into harbour at ten o'clock.-—Rewards, £6 13s..
