Ramsgate, Kent.—At one o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th of October, 1951, the life-boat shore attendant on the East Pier reported a yacht aground in Pegwell Bay. He said that some of her crew were in the water trying to move her. Quarter of an hour later he said that the yacht was still aground, so at 1.20 the life-boat Prudential left her moorings with her boarding boat in tow. The sea was moderate, with a light south-easterly breeze blowing.

She found the motor cruiser Yamilly, of Brightlingsea, with a crew of four, on Sandwich Flats. She was listing badly. Using the boarding boat, the life-boatmen attached a long rope to her and when the tide had risen enough the life-boat pulled her clear.

The Yamilly then went on her way and the life-boat got back to her station again at 5.37 that evening.— Property Salvage Case. — Rewards, 14s. 6d.".
