Walmer, Kent.—At 1.3 in the after- noon of the 14th of April, 1949, the Deal coastguard telephoned a report from North Foreland Radio Station that the motor tanker Brali, of Oslo, bound for Bergen, from Abadan, had gone aground on the Goodwin Sands at South Sands Head. The life-boat Langham, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 1.5 in a light southerly breeze with a slight sea, and the coxswain and five life-boatmen boarded the tanker. Tugs came to her help and she was refloated. The life- boat then escorted her to the Downs and returned to her station, arriving at 3.40 the next morning.—Property salvage case..
