IN SINKING CONDITION At 12.25 P-m- on 26th April, 1965, the coxswain, who was off duty on sick leave, informed the honorary secretary that a cabin cruiser was burning red flares two miles south-east of Dungeness. There was a moderate west-south-westerly breeze with a corresponding sea. It was three hours before low water. The lifeboat Mabel E. Holland launched at 12.55 with the second coxswain in command, and when she reached the position given she found the cabin cruiser Pandamac of London with a crew of three being towed by a pilot boat. The life-boat took over the tow but the casualty was making water fast, and, when half a mile off Dungeness, it was decided to take the survivors off their boat. Shortly afterwards the tow-line parted and the life-boat returned to her station with the three rescued persons at 14.15. It was learned that the Pandamac was taken in tow, in a sinking condition, by a Folkestone fishing boat..
