Dover, Kent. At 6.10 on the evening of the 12th of July, 1959, the coastguardinformed the honorary secretary that a yacht was burning red flares two miles off Leathercoat Point. A Dutch tug had gone to her help and had connected a tow line. At 6.30 the life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings in a very rough sea. A south-westerly wind of nearly gale force was blowing and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the yacht Clai of London in tow of the Dutch tug two miles east-north-east of South Foreland. Her engine had been swamped by the heavy seas and her sails had been blown away. She had a crew of two. At the request of the master of the tug the life-boat took over the tow and brought the yacht into Dover harbour. She reached her station at 8.55. Rewards to the crew, £8 13s..
