Ramsgate, Kent - At 5.47 p.m. on 29th October, 1967, the Deal coast-guard informed the life-boat coxswain that a small boat near the entrance to the river Stour needed help. The life-boat Michael and Lily Davis slipped her moorings at 6.5 in a moderate west north west breeze and a moderate sea. It was two hours before high water. The life-boat made a search and found a motor boat with a man on board two and a half miles west of Ramsgate. The boat had broken down, but the life-boat towed her to Ramsgate, arriving back at her station at 7.5..
