Margate, Kent. At 2.40 on the afternoon of the 22nd of May, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a cabin cruiser, which had been under observation, appeared to have broken down and was drifting with the tide about seven miles north- north-east of Margate. The life-boat North Foreland (Civil Service No. 11} was launched at 2.59. The tide was half ebb, and there was a light southerly breeze with a choppy sea. The life- boat reached the cabin cruiser Gull, which had a crew of three, and found she had had engine trouble, but theengine had been repaired. She escorted the Gull as far as North Foreland and then returned to her station, arriving at 2.59. Rewards to the crew, £9 12s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 4s..
