Dover, Kent.—At 12.20 on the after- noon of the 1st of August, 1956, the Sandgate coastguard rang up to say that a yacht had sprung a leak and needed help off the South Goodwin lightvessel. The life-boat Southern Africa put out at 12.35. The sea was rough, there was a moderate to fresh south-westerly gale, and it was low water. The life-boat came up with the yacht Aguilla with a crew of two, passed a rope and towed her to Dover.

She arrived back at her moorings at 2.25.—Rewards to the crew, etc., £8 5s..
