Dover, Kent.—At 3.10 on the after- noon of the 13th of July, 1952, the Sandgate coastguard reported that a yacht was making heavy weather about a mile south-east of Leather- cotes. The life-boat Southern Africa was launched at 4.15 in a heavy sea, with a south-westerly gale blowing, and found the thirty-tons auxiliary yacht Acteon, of St. Malo, two miles north-north-east of the South Goodwin Lightvessel. She was bound for South- ampton with a party of nine aboard, but her mainsail was damaged, her engine had broken down, and she was driving on to the Goodwin Sands. The life-boat took the Acteon in tow and brought her into Dover Harbour, which was reached at 7.45. The owner made a gift to the life-boat crew.— Property Salvage Case..
