MOTOR VESSEL REFLOATED Ramsgate, Kent.—At about 7.20 in the morning of the 27th of October, 1947, the coastguard reported that the motor vessel Guernsey Coast, of London, was ashore five miles north-east of North Foreland with her steering gear damaged, and that she had asked for two tugs. The motor life-boat Pru- dential was launched at 7.30. A fresh north-easterly gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The liferboat found the motor vessel on Margate Sands, and the master said that she was now unmanageable. The tide was flowing and, with the coxswain giving advice, her master, was able to manoeuvre her into safe water and anchor. The life- boat then stood by until the tugs arrived to tow the Guernsey Coast to London, and returned to her station, arriving at 2.53 that afternoon.— Property Salvage Case.—Rewards. 16s..
