AUGUST 12TH. - RAMSGATE, KENT. At 10.55 in the morning a report was received from returning fishermen that a boat was believed to have capsized as she left the fishing grounds in Pegwell Bay. A strong south-south-west breeze was blowing and the sea was rough. The motor life-boat Prudential was launched at eleven o’clock and found the motor fishing boat Ann with two on board. She was in difficulties in the heavy seas, but making headway slowly. The lifeboat escorted her into Ramsgate, arriving at 11.22. - Rewards, £5 9s. 6d.
