AUGUST 7TH. - RAMSGATE, KENT. At 10.50 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that North Foreland Radio had picked up a message from the American steamer City of Alma that a motor yacht to the north of Dumpton Buoy was in need of immediate help. A strong south-west breeze was blowing and the sea was rough. The motor life-boat Prudential was launched at 10.59. On arriving she was signalled by the American steamer and went alongside.

There she learned that the yacht was the motor yacht Windgap, of London, on passage from Ramsgate with two men on board. The steamer had seen that she was sinking, lowered a boat, and rescued the men as she sank. The life-boat brought them to Ramsgate, arriving at 12.50. - Rewards, £5 9s. 6d..
