Dover, Kent.—At 1.20 on the after- noon of the 26th of July, 1957, the Sand- gate coastguard telephoned that the yacht Gold Mist, of Newhaven, appeared to be making little progress in heavy weather two and a half miles south of Copt Point. Ten minutes later the life-boat Southern Africa put out in a rough sea. There was a strong west- south-westerly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life- boat reached the position and found the yacht with a damaged mainsail and sailing with only her foresail. There was one man on board. The life-boat escorted the yacht safely to Dover harbour, arriv- ing at three o'clock.—Rewards to the crew, etc., £6 55..
