Nov. 15TH. - MARGATE, KENT. At 11.45 A.M. the small coasting vessel Woodstown was sunk by enemy action threequarters of a mile N.E. of the Spit Buoy. A fresh S.W. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. At 11.50 A.M., the motor life-boat The Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched. She found that the Woodstown had disappeared, and went to the S.S. Clapham which was nearby and had picked up four survivors. Five of the life-boat’s crew boarded the steamer, helped her crew topull up the ship’s life-boat into the davits, and then helped to put the rescued men, three of whom had been badly injured, into the life-boat. After a further search the life-boat returned to her station at 1.30 P.M.

The rescued men were landed and taken to hospital by ambulance. - Rewards, £9 8s.
