Ramsgate, Kent.—At eight o'clock on the morning of the 8th of May, 1956, the Deal coastguard telephoned to say that the Panamanian tanker Georgia had been in collision with the S.S. St.

Helena in fog 23 miles east-by-north of the life-boat station. At 8.15 the life-boat Greater London (Civil Service No. 3), on temporary duty at the station, put to sea. There was a calm sea and a light west-south- westerly breeze, and the tide was half flood. The life-boat found the Georgia holed on her starboard side and the St. Helena undamaged. She stood by until the tanker was able to go on her way and returned to her moorings, arriving back at 5.15.—Rewards to the crew, £19 18s..
