Ramsgate, Kent.—During the night of the 1st August, 1938, the pleasure steamer Queen of Kent, of Rochester, returning to Ramsgate Harbour from a trip, with 347 persons on board, ran aground on the Brake Sands. A gentle N.E. breeze was blowing. The sea was smooth, but there was fog in patches. The motor life-boat Prudential put out at 10.58 P.M., accompanied by motor boats. She landed 91 passengers and a motor boat landedanother 40. The remainder stayed on board. The life-boat also helped to lay out an anchor, and shortly after midnight the Queen of Kent floated off on the rising tide. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.45 A.M.— Property Salvage Case..
