A Fishing Vessel

Dover, Kent.—At 10.35 in the morn- ing of the 15th of March, 1950, the signal station at the eastern arm of Dover Harbour reported a small motor boat drifting about a mile and a half off Dover, with her crew of two waving for help. At 10.50 the life-boat Southern Africa was launched, in a moderate sea with a light southerly wind blowing. She found a small Folkestone fishing vessel rolling badly in a nasty swell, and took her crew aboard. Then, with the broken down boat in tow, she arrived back at her station at 12.5.—Rewards, £7 5s..
