Walmer, Kent. At 7.52 on the evening of the 8th of August, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the motor yawl Ivy Lass of Maldon was secured alongside the East Goodwin lightvessel, as she had run short of petrol. At 8.5 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson, on temporary duty at the station, was launched in a heavy swell, with a light south-westerly wind blowing and an ebb tide. The life- boat found the Ivy Lass and took her in tow to Walmer, arriving at 11.30.

Rewards to the crew, £12 12s. ; re- wards to the helpers on shore, £14 15s..
