Dover, Kent. At 2.10 on the after- noon of the 27th of March, 1960, a message was received from the eastern arm of the harbour that the small motor boat Gladena of Dover had broken down with engine trouble half a mile south-east of Dover. The life-boat Southern Africa put out at 2.25, when the tide was half ebb, in a fresh north- north-easterly wind and a moderate sea.

She took the motor boat, which had a crew of four, in tow, and reached her station at 3.10. Rewards to the crew, £10 5s..
