.—On the 21st Septem- ber one of two Royal Air Force launches which were on passage from Calshot to Felixstowe had trouble with her engine about two miles S.W. of the Admiralty Pier, Dover. The other launch made for Dover and telephoned to the life-boat coxswain for help. The motor life-boat Sir William Hillary put out at 10.23 P.M., in a strong N.E. breeze with a rough sea. She came up with the launch about one mile S.W. of Dover and escorted her into harbour, where the second coxswain boarded her and moored her safely in the Camber. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 11.20 P.M.—Rewards, £3 15s..
