Rene-Philippe

Ramsgate, Kent.—At 7.20 on the even- ing of the 16th of September, 1952, the coastguard telephoned a report from the North Foreland Golf Club that a cabin-cruiser had fired a red Verey light half a mile off North Foreland.

At 7.80 the life-boat Prudential left her moorings. A moderate east-north- east breeze was blowing, with a rough sea, and she found the motor yacht Rene-Philippe, of Portsmouth, with a crew of three, two miles off Dumpton Gap. Her engines had broken down, and the life-boat towed her to Rams- gate, arriving at 8.20. — Rewards, 12s. Qd.; Property Salvage Case..
