NOVEMBER 10TH. - DUNGENESS, KENT.

At 9.3 in the morning the Sandgate coastguard reported a motor yacht in distress two and a half miles south-south-west of Dungeness Lighthouse. A fresh north-easterly breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched at 9.30 and found the motor yacht Fluminense, of London, with her engines broken down. She had drifted all night.

She had two on board and they were exhausted.

The lifeboat towed the yacht to Rye, and arrived back at her station at 1.30 that afternoon. - Rewards, £17 17s..
