Dungeness, Kent.—At 5.30 in the evening of the 16th of September, 1951, a yacht was seen flying distress signals one mile east of the life-boat station, and the life-boat coxswain and three other men put out at once in a fishing boat. A strong south-westerly breeze was blowing, but the sea was smooth.

They found the yacht Memory, of Newhaven, with a crew of four, broken down. The skipper asked for a tow to Dover. The fishing boat was not powerful enough for this, but she took the yacht to smooth water and anchored her there. She then returned to Dungeness, and at 9.30 the life- boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched. She took the yacht in tow and made for Dover, but two and a half miles south-west of Folkestone she came up with the Dover life-boat, on passage to Dover. The Dover life-boat took over the tow and the Dungeness life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 1.15 the next morning.—Rewards, £25 11s..
