Ramsgate, Kent.—At 5.50 in the evening of the 12th of October, 1951, the North Goodwin Lightvessel wire- lessed that she had warned off a vessel in a dangerous position one and a half miles south by west of the Goodwin Lightvessel, and at 6.16 the life-boat Prudential left her moorings. The sea was very rough, with a fresh south- easterly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the S.S. Mathilda, of Bergen, aground about two miles south by west of the lightvessel. She went alongside, passed a rope to her and put two life-boatmen on board. They made preparations for laying a kedge anchor and wires, but the steamer refloated. The life-boat guided her through the sandbanks to deeper water took the two life-boatmen on board again, gave the Mathilda a course to steer, and returned to her station, arriving at 10.45 that night.—Property Salvage Case.—Rewards, 14s. 6d..
