Dover, Kent. At 6.30 on the morning of the 18th of May, 1958, a message was received that the pilot boat Victor of Dover was drifting, with her steering gear broken, three miles west-south- west of Dover. At 6.45 the life-boat Southern Africa put out in a rough sea, with a fresh west-south-westerly wind blowing and fog. It was low water.

The life-boat found the Victor with a crew of three and took her in tow to Dover, which was reached at 8.45.

Rewards to the crew etc., £8. 13s..
