Jaymac

Dungeness, Kent.—At 9.7 on the morning of the 7th of June, 1951, the Lade coastguard reported the motor yacht Jaymac, of London, in need of help six miles south-west of Dunge- ness. At 9.45 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched in a fresh easterly breeze with a moderate sea. She found the yacht, which had drifted four miles westward, had broken down. Her master asked for her to be towed to port, so the life-boat took her to Rye, getting there just after 1.0 in the afternoon. Then she returned to her station, reaching it at 4.O.—Rewards, £37 12s..
