OCTOBER 23TH. - MARGATE, KENT. At 6.31 at night the coastguard reported that a vessel was flashing SOS signals from the Goodwin Sands four miles north of the lifeboat station. A fresh north-easterly breeze was blowing. The sea was rough. The motor life-boat The Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. I) was launched at 6.55 and found the motor cruiser Lenora Venture, of London, four miles north-north-west of Margate. She had four on board. Her propellers were damaged and her steering gear had broken down. The master asked the coxswain to tow the motor cruiser to Ramsgate, but as the weather was unfavourable the life-boat took her instead to Margate and arrived back at her station at 9.30. - Property salvage case..
