Dover, Kent.—At nine o'clock on the night of the 24th of September, 1955, the police reported that the motor yacht Remedy, which had a crew of two, was in distress between the South Goodwin lightvessel and the Goodwin Sands. At 9.35 the life-boat Southern Africa put out. The sea was rough, there was a fresh south-westerly breeze, and it was two hours before low water. The life-boat found the Remedy one and a half miles off Kings- down, bound for Dover from Yalding.

Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Dover, arriving at 12.50 early on the 24th. The yachtsmen expressed their thanks and made a gift to the life-boat crew.
