Ramsgate, Kent.—At 3.59 on the afternoon of the 5th of September, 1957, a message was received from the east pier watch that a yacht was sig- nalling for help off Quern buoy. At 4.8 the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis left her moorings. The sea was calm and there was a light westerly breeze blowing. It was low water.

The life-boat found the yacht Pilot with five people on board. Her engines had broken down. The life-boat took her in tow and returned to her station, arriving at 4.5. The owners made a gift to the crew.—Rewards to the crew, etc., £6 10s..
