Cas-Jel

Margate, Kent.—At 12.26 on the after- noon of the 7th of June, 1954, the coastguard reported that a small motor boat, with a crew of three, had broken down about two miles off Foreness. At 12.35 the life-boat North Foreland, Civil Service No. 11 was launched. The sea was choppy, and a fresh breeze was blowing from the south-west. The life-boat found the motor boat Cas-Jel, of Foreness, about two and a half miles off-shore with her engine broken down and her crew sea-sick. The life-boat rescued them and towed the boat to Margate, reaching her station again at 1.50.— Rewards, £8 1*..
