Lucky Jim

Dover, Kent. At six o'clock on the evening of the 18th of January, 1958, the honorary secretary was informed that a motor boat was in difficulties outside the eastern arm of the harbour. The life-boat Southern Africa put out at 6.20 in a rough sea. There was a moderate westerly gale and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the motor boat Lucky Jim with five people on board. Her engine had broken down, and the life-boat towed her to the harbour. The life-boat reached her moorings at 6.50. Rewards to the crew, etc., £5 5s..
