Abersoch, Caernarvonshire. — On the 29th June Mr. William Owen saw a small sailing boat capsize and ran and told two boatmen, who put out in a motor boat. They found two men and a woman clinging to the keel in an exhausted condition, and took them on board. A squally W.S.W. breeze was blowing with a choppy sea, making conditions rather bad for small boats.— Rewards, 10s. to the boatmen and a letter to Mr. William Owen.

White, supported him in the water until Mr. G. and Mr. L. Prideaux, who had put out from the shore in a small rowing boat, reached them. Meanwhile Miss Prideaux had swum out in her clothes to help. The blind man was taken into the boat, which then made for the shore, with Mr. White holding on and support- ing the drowned man.—Rewards, the Framed Life-boat Picture, together with a Letter of Thanks, to Mr. George Prideaux, Mr. Leon Prideaux, and Miss Prideaux; and a Letter of Congratula- tion to Mr. C.

He was seen from Alnmouth to be about a mile east of the Birling Car rocks, drifting rapidly out to sea, and the motor coble Belcynth, with a crew of three, put out to his aid.

Margate, Kent.—On the afternoon of the 3rd October a little girl slipped and fell into the sea while going down the steps from the pier to the Life-boat House. Mr. A. Nash, who was fishing on the pier, ran to her aid and, climbing under the slipway, was able to reach the child, who was clinging to a tie rod.

There was a strong ebb tide and con- siderable sea running, which endan- gered the child's life and made the rescuer's task one of some danger.

Other men helped to get Mr. Nash and the child back on to the pier. Mr. Nash's clothes were damaged during the rescue.
