TOW FOR YACHT ADRIFT FOR TWO DAYS Humber, Yorkshire. At 6.28 on the evening of the 16th September, 1962, the coastguard informed the coxswain superintendent that a yacht was drifting towards some ships which were at anchor at the mouth of the river Humber near Hail Sand buoy. At 6.40 the life-boat City of Bradford III was launched in a moderate westerly wind and a moderate sea. It was an hour and a half before high water. The life-boat found the yacht Kathene, which was fitted with an engine, broken down four and a half miles south-south-east of Spurn. She had run short of petrol, and the life-boat took her in tow to Grimsby, which was reached at 8.30. Because of the state of the tide the life-boat remained at Grimsby until 4.30 the next morning and eventually reached her station at 5.30. The crew of two of the yacht had been adrift for two days,.
