Margate, Kent.—At 4.56 on the after- noon of the 21st of August, 1955, the coastguard rang up to say that he had seen a cabin cruiser two miles to the eastward and that one of her crew was waving a shirt. At 5.2 the life- boat North Foreland, Civil Service No.

11 was launched. The sea was smooth, there was a light easterly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the cabin cruiser Pluto, of Broadstairs, with a man, his wife and two children on board. The woman had waved her white jumper to attract attention. The Pluto had broken down, so the life-boat towed her to Margate, reaching her station again at 5.20.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 4s..
