Ramsgate, Kent.—Between noon and one in the afternoon of the llth of July, 1950, the coastguard reported a sailing yacht apparently in danger of going aground. She was originally on a northerly course, but later headed south. He thought she needed help.

At 1.25 the life-boat Prudential left her moorings, in a rough sea, with a strong west-north-west breeze blowing.

She found the sailing yacht Maggie May, of Erith, with a man and a woman on board, on the East Goodwin Sands, and in danger of grounding with the ebbing tide. The life-boat put a man on board with a tow line, and towing the Maggie May clear, took her to Dover. She reached her station again at 7.30 that evening. The rescued people thanked the life-boatmen.—Rewards, £9 10s. 6d..
