Roger

Lowestoft, Suffolk. — At 8.57 on the night of the 13th of September, 1948, the coastguard telephoned that a vessel was making lamp signals and burning flares about six miles to the south-south-east, and the motor life- boat Michael Stephens left her moorings at a quarter past nine in a slight swell and a south-westerly breeze. She found the motor trawler Roger, of Nieuport, Belgium, with her engines broken down, and towed her to the harbour, returning to her station at 11 o'clock.—Property Salvage Case..
