Dover, Kent. At 2.55 on the after- noon of the 18th of July, 1959, a fishing boat was seen in difficulties near the wreck buoy south of the eastern en- trance to Dover harbour. The life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings five minutes later in a choppy sea. There was a light south-westerly breeze and an ebb tide. The life-boat found a motor boat with three people on board on a fishing trip. She had run short of fuel. The life-boat towed her into harbour and reached her station at 4.5.

Rewards to the crew, £7 5s..
