Ramsgate, Kent.—At 8.24 on the evening of the 9th of March, 1956, the harbour watchman reported that he had seen flares to the southward. A man was missing in the local fishing boat Nyria, and at 8.33 the life-boat Michael and Lily Davis put out. The sea was slight, there was a light east- south-east breeze, and the tide was half flood. The life-boat came up with the Nyria in Pegwell Bay. She found that her engine had broken down and towed her back to Ramsgate, •arriving at 9.15.—Rewards to the crew, £7 17s. 6d.; rewards to the helpers on shore, 5s..
