Ramsgate, Kent. •— At 6.40 on the morning of the 12th of October, 1950, the East Pier Watchman telephoned that the Dutch yacht Amy II, which had left Ramsgate an hour earlier, had burned flares and was apparently aground in Pegwell Bay. At 6.52 the life-boat Prudential left her moorings in a smooth sea and light westerly wind. Near No. 2 Brake Buoy the life-boat found the yacht. The motor fishing boat Lady Beatty had already put a rope aboard; and as soon as there was enough water she and the life-boat towed the yacht free. The Lady Beatty continued to tow until the Amy II could go under her own power. The life-boat returned to her station, arriv- ing at 8.36. This yacht received help from the Great Yarmouth and Gorleston life-boat on the 25th August and from the Ramsgate life-boat on the 9th September.'—Rewards, £8 13s..
