Dungeness, Kent. At 10.41 on the morning of the 28th of July, 1960, thecoastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a vessel towing a cabin cruiser appeared to have broken down.

She was drifting broadside and flying a red flag on a short mast. The life- boat Mabel E. Holland was launched at 11.15 in a strong south-west-by-westerly breeze and a rough sea. It was low water. The life-boat came up with the launch Victor, which had a crew of three, some two miles south-west of the life-boat station and found that the rope which had connected the Victor and the yacht Lulworth Castle had parted. The life-boat crew helped to reconnect the tow, and the life-boat escorted both boats into smooth water, returning to her station at 1.50. Rewards to the crew, £10 16s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £11 4s..
