JUNE 25TH. - RAMSGATE, KENT. At 3.50 in the afternoon the coastguard telephoned a report from the east pier watchman that, the ex-German yacht Pirol, which had left harbour for Portsmouth, manned by five R.A.F. men, had grounded on the Brake Sands. She was not signalling for help, but a little later it was reported that the yacht had a dangerous list, and at 4.21 the motor lifeboat Prudential was launched. A moderate south-westerly breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The life-boat reached the yacht within twenty minutes. The yacht refloated as the tide rose, but grounded again, so the life-boat stood by. An air-sea rescue boat also arrived and stood by. When the Pirol had finally refloated the life-boat escorted her to a navigable channel and then left her, reaching her station again at 5.50.- Rewards, £4 4s. 6d..
