Dungeness, Kent. — At 3.15 on the morning of the 6th of August, 1952, a steamer was heard to blow her siren half a mile north-east of the life-boat station, and at 3.55 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched.

The sea was slight, with a light breeze blowing and fog. The life-boat found the motor ship England, of Leith, with thirty-three persons on board, aground on Newcombe Bar. She stood by until the ship refloated and then re- turned to her station, arriving at 10.30.
