MAY 3RD. - RAMSGATE, KENT. At 2.35 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that the North Goodwin Lightship had reported a vessel aground on the North-East Goodwin Sands. The motor life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 3.25 and found the S.S. Pomerol, of Le Havre, with a crew of twenty-six, on passage from Grimsby to Dieppe. She had no wireless.

Two life-boatmen were put on board for signalling, and the life-boat went to the North Goodwin Lightship to signal for tugs.

Later a Dover tug and a Dutch tug arrived, but were unable to approach in the shallow water and rough seas. As the tide rose the steamer refloated and, with advice and guidance from the life-boat, she was navigated through the surrounding banks and went to the Downs. She landed the two life-boatmen at Deal, and the life-boat reached her station at 2.45 that afternoon. - Rewards, 18s. 6d.
