Good Luck

At 12.15 P.M. on the 12th October it was reported that the fishing boat Good Luck, of Folkestone, was in distress. The coastguard could see that the boat was flying a flag, but could not read the signal. It was decided to launch the motor life-boat City of Nottingham, and she left at 12.35 P.M. The weather was fine, with a smooth sea and moderate N.W. breeze.

The life-boat found the Good Luck four miles S.S.E. of Hythe, short of oil, and with her propeller fouled by her nets.

The fishing boat was taken to, Folke- stone, and the life-boat arrived at her station again at 2.30 P.M.—Rewards, £13 4s. 6d..
