The Motor Life-boat Greater London (Civil Service No. 3) was launched at 8.20 P.M. on 15th April, as the Coastguard had reported that the Nore Lightvessel was firing distress signals. A strong N.E. wind was blowing with a heavy sea. The Light- vessel directed the Life-boat to Warden Point, near Whitstable, from which direction she had seen flares. Although the Life-boat cruised round for two and a half hours, no sign of any vessel in distress was found, so she returned to her Station, arriving back at midnight.
