Dover, Kent. At 3.7 on the morning of the 30th of April, 1959, the coast- guard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht needed help four miles east- south-east of Folkestone pier. The coaster Clarity was standing by the yacht, and at 3.30 the life-boat John R.

Webb, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings in a very rough sea.

There was a strong north-north-easterly gale with heavy rain, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the yacht Satyr with one man on board and took her in tow to Wellington dock.

Her main halyard had blown away, and she had run short of fuel. The life-boat reached her moorings at 5.26. Rewards to the crew, £8 13s..
