Dungeness, Kent.—At 10.45 on the morning of the 5th of December, 1955, a man reported that the barge Will Everard, of London, which had a crew of four, had run ashore near Galloways.

At 11.25 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched. The sea was choppy, there was a moderate south-south-west breeze, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the barge six miles west-by-north of the life-boat station and took her in tow.

She pulled her clear, and the barge went on her way under her own power.

The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 2.10.—Property Salvage Case..
