Ocean Hound

Dnngeness, Kent. — At 7.45 in the evening of the 2nd of October, 1949, a resident of Lydd telephoned that a vessel was ashore one mile west-north- west of Galloways. At eight o'clock the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched in a smooth sea, with a light west-south-west wind blowing. She found the motor launch Ocean Hound, of London, an old m >tor torpedo boat, with a crew of two. The skipper asked to be towed off and the life-boat refloated the Ocean Hound, towed her to a safe anchorage, and arrived back at her station at 10 o'clock.—Property Salvage Case..
