Dover, Kent. At 10.53 on the night of the 5th of June, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a yacht was burning flares a mile and a half off South Foreland. The life-boat Southern Africa put out at eleven o'clock in a gentle south-westerly breeze and a slight sea. The tide was half ebb. The life-boat came up with the yacht Themis, with a crew of five, which had run out of fuel, and towed her back to Dover, reaching her station at 12.45. Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helper on shore, 5s..
