Ramsgate, Kent.—At 12.10 in the morning of the 12th of November, 1948, information was received that the local motor fishing boat Victory, with two aboard, was five hours overdue, and the motor life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 12.16 in a light south- westerly breeze with a slight sea.

With the help of her searchlight she found the Victory near South Brake Sands. Her propeller was foul and she was making very slow progress against a strong ebb tide. The life-boat towed her to the harbour, arriving back at her station at 2.45.—Rewards, £10 13s. 6.
