Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. — At 12.45 on the morning of the 9th of February, 1954, the Nell's Point coastguard reported that the S.S. Ivor Isabel, of London, and the S.S. Aase Maersk, of Nyborg, Denmark, had been in collision between Flat Holm and the Weston Buoy, and that the Ivor Isabel had asked for a tug. At 2.20 the life-boat Fifi and Charles was launched in a calm sea. There was a moderate south-easterly breeze blow- ing and dense fog. The life-boat found the steamers between one and a half and two miles south-east of Flat Holm. The Ivor Isabel had been holed below the water-line and had anchored. The life-boat stood by both ships for about five hours until the master of the Ivor Isabel said she was needed no longer. She then re- turned to her station, arriving at nine o'clock.—Rewards, £20 13s..
