Ramsgate, Kent.—At 11.30 on the morning of the 2nd of May, 1954, the coastguard rang up to say that a French trawler in tow of another trawler appeared to be in difficulties half a mile south-east of the coast- guard station. At 11.40 the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put to sea. The sea was very rough, and a gale was blowing from the south-west.

The life-boat found a third trawler, escorted all three to Ramsgate harbour and reached her station again at 12.20.
