A thrilling story of how the HONG KONG TIDES.. trawler River Kent was found drift- ing rudderless in a heavy sea and was brought to safety was told when the trawler Lowther put into Fleetwood on April 8.

"The poor devils were crawling about the deck drenched to their skins, while seas were sweeping over them. What those chapa went through won't bear thinking about. Our own ship nearly foundered."

In these words a member of the Lowther's crew described the plight of the River Kent when they came up with her.
