Dungeness, and Dover, Kent.—At 4.13 on the morning of the 3rd of May, 1956, the Lade coastguard telephoned the life-boat station at Dungeness to say the motor vessel Hassel, of Bergen, Norway, had been in collision with an unknown vessel about seven miles south of Folkestone. At 4.35 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched in a smooth sea. There was a light southerly breeze and fog, and it was high water. The life-boat station at Dover was also told, and at 4.50 the life-boat Southern Africa put to sea. Both life-boats came up with the Hassel, which was sinking at her stern and being towed by the tugs Lady Brassey and Duncannon. They stood by until the vessel was beached at Seabrook, about a quarter of a mile from shore. Dungeness life - boat reached her station again at 10.45 and Dover at 11.30.—Rewards: Dungeness, rewards to the crew £16 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £21 15s.; Dover, rewards to the crew, etc., £12 10s..
