Ramsgate, Kent. At 4.33 on the after- noon of the 21st of September, 1959, the watchman on the east pier told the honorary secretary that a girl was adrift in a canoe in Pegwell Bay some distance from the shore. Eight minutes later the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out in a choppy sea. There was a gentle south-westerly wind and the tide was half ebb. The life-boat found the girl, took her and her canoe on board, and returned to her station, arriving at 5.10.
