Boy Eric
APRIL 19TH. - RAMSGATE, KENT. At 3.30 P.M. the naval base reported a fishing boat, off the North Foreland, in need of a tow into harbour. She was the Boy Eric, of Lowestoft, on voyage, with a crew of two, to Ramsgate for repairs. A light S.W. wind was blowing and the sea was smooth, but as the naval authorities wished the boat to be got in quickly and no other suitable boat was available, the motor life-boat Agnes Cross, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 4.50 P.M., and returned with the Boy Eric in tow at 6.40 P.M. - Rewards, £2 13s..
