Dungeness, Kent - At 10 a.m. on 30th April, 1967, a yacht was reported ashore at St. Mary's Bay between the groynes and close to the sea wall. The life-boat Mabel E. Holland was launched in a moderate south west wind and a smooth sea. It was one and a half hours after low water. The skipper of the yacht boarded the life-boat from the Littlestone IRB. It was suggested to him that he should attempt to refloat the casualty, the yacht Skald II, by using his own engine together with the assistance of the IRB pulling on his bow. This proved successful and she was refloated shortly before high water. On being assured that all was well and that no further assistance was required the life-boat returned to her station at 4.20 p.m..
