Dover, Kent.—At 12.43 in the morn- ing, on the 6th of April, 1950, the Sandgate coastguard reported that the S.S. Shepperton Ferry had wirelessed that a fishing vessel had broken down two and a quarter miles south-east of the South Goodwin Lightvessel. At one o'clock the life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings in a moderate sea with a light south-westerly breeze blowing.

She found the fishing vessel Bread- winner, of Rye, three miles south of the East Goodwin Lightvessel, with a crew of two. She was rolling heavily with her engines broken down, and was making water. The life-boat towed her to Dover Harbour, gave the rescued men hot soup and reached her station again at 6.15.—Rewards, £11 2s..
