Shortly before 10 A.M. on the 18th March a telephone message was received by the Harwich Coastguard reporting that a vessel, with her sails blown away, was driving east of Woodbridge Haven, and showing signals of distress. The steam Life- boat City of Glasgow was despatched in response to the message, and on arrival at the position indicated found the ketch Malvoisin, of London, labouring heavily and unmanageable. At the request of the master of the ketch the Life- boat helped him to effect communication with a tug, which had also come to the vessel's assistance, and the ketch and her crew of five hands were then taken into Harwich Harbour, accompanied by the Life-boat, the weather being very rough with a S.W. gale blowing. The vessel was bound from Lynn to London with a cargo of potatoes..
