PROPELLER LOST Walmer, Kent—During the afternoon of the 19th of January, 1948, a motor fishing vessel was drifting in the Downs, and a passing steamer signalled for help for her. At 3.40 the motor life- boat Charles Dibdin—Civil Service No. 2 was launched in a light south-westerly breeze, with a slight sea, and found the Motor fishing vessel No. 799, of Fraser- burgh, with a crew of three. She had lost her propeller. The life-boat towed her to Ramsgate and arrived back at her station at 6.45 that evening.
