Margate, Kent.—At about 5 P.M. on the 25th October the coastguard reported that a small fishing boat had broken down and was drifting ashore east of Margate jetty. A very heavy N.W. squall was blowing, with a roughsea. The motor life-boat Lord Southbar oush (Civil Service No. 1) was launched, for the second time that day, at 5.15 P.M., and found the local fishing boat Britannia in distress with her engine broken down. The life-boat towed her back to harbour, arriving at 5.50 P.M., and was rehoused when the weather moderated, at 11.30 P.M.—• Rewards, £14 2s..
