Margate, Kent.—At 6.33 on the morn- ing of the 4th of September, 1955, the coastguard rang up to say that he had seen a sailing yacht in a dangerous position on Hook Sands. At 7.5 the life-boat North Foreland Civil Service ATo. 11 was launched. The sea was choppy, there was a moderate south- westerly breeze, and it was one hour before low water. The life-boat found the sailing yacht Keolin, of Ramsgate, with a crew of three bound from Rams- gate to Rochester. She was among the sandbanks, and her crew had lost their bearings. The life-boat escorted them clear, saw them on their way to Rochester and then returned to her station, arriving at 9.15.—Rewards to the crew, £8 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 4s..
