Dover, Kent.—At 12.48 on the after- noon of the 8th of July, 1956, the Sandgate coastguard reported that two ships had been in collision five miles south-east of South Foreland in thick fog. The life-boat Southern Africa put out at 1.10. The sea was smooth, there was a light south-westerly wind, and the tide was ebbing. The life- boat came up with the S.S. Dione of Caen one and a half miles from the East Goodwin lightvessel and found that she was being towed by the tug Lady Brassey to Calais. The other vessel, the S.S. Michael C, although damaged, did not need help and pro- ceeded under her own steam. The life- boat stood by the S.S. Dione while she was towed to Calais, and then returned to her station, arriving at ten o'clock.
