The Whaler Paul

Dover, Kent.—On the afternoon of the 16th of September, 1952, the whaler Paul, of Dover, with three boys from Dover College on board, was blown out of the western entrance to Dover harbour. At 3.45 the life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings in a moderately rough sea, with a fresh north-easterly breeze blowing. She found the whaler three miles west- south-west of Dover and took the boys on board. With the whaler in tow, the life-boat made for Dover, which was reached at 5.30.—Rewards, £5 15*.«.
