Ramsgate, Kent. — At 5.28 in the morning, on the 30th of September, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that the North Goodwin Lightvessel had warned off two ships approaching the Goodwin Sands. At 5.52 the coast- guard reported that one of them seemed to have gone aground two and a half miles south-south-west of the light- vessel. So, at 5.59, the life-boat Pru- dential left her moorings. The sea was rough with a strong south-westerly breeze blowing. She found the motor trawler Berdin Gabea, of San Sebastian, with sixteen people on board, and laying out an anchor for her, put a towrope on board. Then she anchored to await the flood tide. With the rising tide, she held the trawler upright and with the help of a motor boat, pulled her clear. She returned to her station again at 1.35 that afternoon.
