MAN TAKEN OFF SINKING CUTTER Dungeness, Kent. At 6.40 on the evening of the 14th June, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the gaff-rigged cutter Twilight was ashore one to two miles west of Dengemarsh look-out, but that she was in no immediate danger. The honorary secretary contacted the master of the yacht and was told that a boat was needed to refloat the vessel and tow her to Rye Harbour. As there was no other boat available, the life-boat Mabel E. Holland was launched in a gentle south-westerly wind and a choppy sea. It was high water. The Twilight was refloated and taken in tow to Rye Harbour. She was leaking badly, and two of the life-boat crew were put aboard to help the master bale out the water. They were unable to control the water, and the vessel was beginning to sink. The two members of the lifeboat crew and the master were therefore taken aboard the life-boat and the Twilight was put ashore. The lifeboat then returned to her station, arriving at 9.45..
