Dungeness, Kent.—At 7.57 on the morning of the 17th of March, 1957, a message was received from a fisher- man that a vessel was ashore at Great- stone. The life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched at 8.25 in a smooth sea. There was a fresh south- westerly breeze blowing and the tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the Dutch motor vessel Advent, with a crew of seven, and stood by her until she refloated. She then returned to her station, arriving at 9.45.— Rewards to the crew, ,£l 1 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £18 17s..
