Ramsgate, Kent. — At 9.5 on the night of the 23rd of May, 1950, the coastguard telephoned a message re- received from Sandwich that a fishing boat was drifting on a lee shore a mile north of Guildford Hotel. Five minutes later, the life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, put out in a moderate north-easterly breeze with a rough sea. She found the local motor fishing boat Mary Ann, whose crew of four were repairing an engine break-down. Consequently the life-boat was soon able to escort her home, and reached Ramsgate harbour at 9.55.—Rewards, £6 13s..
