Dungeness, Kent. At 11.50 on the morning of the 12th of February, 1961, the honorary secretary was informed that the engine of the fishing boat Jaque- line Roberta had broken down three miles south-west of Dungeness and that she had asked for assistance. When the life-boat Mabel E. Holland was launched at noon there was a moderate south- westerly wind with a corresponding sea and it was two hours before low water.

The life-boat came up with the trawler at 12.45 and towed her into Folkestone, which was reached at 4.50. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 6.30..
