Walmer, Kent.—At 5.10 on the morning of the 26th of August, 1951, the Deal Coastguard telephoned he had seen two red flares four miles south-by- east of the coastguard station. At 5.30 the life-boat Charles Dibdin, Civil Service No. 2, was launched. The sea was very rough with a fresh southerly gale. She found the .auxiliary yacht Albatross, of Bordeaux, with a crew of five bound for Honfleur, two miles east of the South Goodwin Sands. She was flying a distress signal. The crew had tried to make for Dover because of the weather but had failed. Two life-boatmen boarded her and the life-boat towed her with difficulty to Ramsgate. She reached her station again at 2.45 that afternoon.—Pro- perty Salvage Case..
