Dover, Kent. — About 4.15 on the afternoon of the 19th of July, 1953, the harbour board gateman at the Eastern Docks reported that a small sailing yacht with a crew of four had capsized at the eastern end of the harbour.

Two of her crew had swum ashore, but the others were clinging to the yacht.

The life-boat The Lord Southborough, Civil Service No. 1, on temporary duty at the station, put to sea at once in a choppy sea with a strong breeze blow- ing. She rescued the two people and towed in the yacht, reaching her station again at 5.30.—Rewards, £4 6s..
