Dover, Kent. — About 5.30 on the afternoon of the 12th of August, 1956, a yacht was seen from the eastern arm of the dock, apparently in difficulties off the Forelands. 'The life-boat Southern Africa put out at 5.45.

There was a rough sea, with a strong south-westerly breeze blowing and an ebb tide. As the life-boat reached the position close under the cliffs, the yacht Shaheen, with a crew of three, weighed her anchor and got under way. The life-boat escorted her into Dover harbour and arrived back at her station at 7.15. The Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club sent a letter of appreciation.—Rewards to the crew, etc., £5 5s..
