Dungeness, Kent. At 3.57 on the morn- ing of the 17th of February, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a vessel was ashore at Dunge- ness and making water. When the life- boat Mabel E. Holland was launched at 4.25 there was fog with light south- easterly airs and a smooth sea. It was an hour and a half before low water. The life-boat found the small Admiralty tanker C.632, and her captain asked the coxswain to stand by. At ten o'clock, with the aid of the life-boat, the tanker was refloated. She proceeded to Dover escorted by H.M.S. Watchful, and the life-boat returned to her station at 10.15..
