Ramsgate, Kent.—At about 4.45 A.M.

on the 26th November, 1938, the coastguard reported that a vessel about a mile N.E. of the Brake Light-vessel was burning flares. A S.S.W. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea. The reserve motor life-boat The Brothers was launched at 5.10 A.M., and found that the sand sucker Agivey, of London, had broken away from a tug which had had her in tow and was wallowing in big seas. The life-boat stood by until the tug picked her up again, and returned to her station at 8.28 A.M.—Rewards, £14 16s. 9d..
