Dover, Kent.—At 10.45 on the night of the 18th of March, 1954, Lloyds signal station on the eastern harbour arm reported that a boat had flashed SOS three times. At 10.50 the life-boat Southern Africa put out.

The sea was calm, with a light south- westerly breeze blowing. The life- boat found the fishing boat Goodheart, of Folkestone, with a crew of three, a mile south of the eastern harbour entrance. Her engines had broken down. The life-boat towed her in and reached her station again at 12.30 early on the 19th.—Rewards, £85*..
