Swanage, Dorset.—At 5.5 in the afternoon of the 27th of April, 1947, the coastguard reported that a motor fishing boat had broken down one and a half miles west of St. Albans Head, and at 5.30 another message came that the fishing boat was drifting towards Kimmeridge Ledges. The motor life- boat Thomas Markby was launched at six o'clock in a fresh south-south- westerly breeze and heavy swell, and found the motor fishing boat Varona, of Weymouth, with three men on board, on her way to Weymouth. The life- boat towed her there and returned to her station, arriving at 1.45 the fol- lowing morning.—Rewards, £17 7s..
