IN DANGER OF CAPSIZING Ramsgate, Kent.-—At 7.10 in the evening of the 5th of July, 1947, it was reported that a vessel had grounded on Quern Shoal. The tide was ebbing, the vessel was listing dangerously, and at 7.20 the motor life-boat Prudential was launched in a light west-south-west breeze and slight sea. She found the Bountiful, an ex-naval drifter, bound for Southampton with a crew of five, on the Brake Sands. There was a heavy cross swell on the sands and it was feared that the drifter would" capsize.

The life-boat ran out a kedge anchor for her and when the tide had risen towed her clear and escorted her to harbour, arriving back at her station at 12.45 next morning.—Rewards, 15s.
