For which Rewards were given at the May, June and July Meetings of the Committee of Management.

Porthcawl, Glamorganshire.—The fish- ing boat Lucky Boy, with a crew of four, got into difficulties on the afternoon of the 1st April, owing to engine trouble.

A strong W.N.W. wind was blowing, with a fairly heavy sea, and the tide was flowing strongly. At 3 P.M. a motor boat manned by three men put out from Porthcawl and went to the help of the drifting boat. The first attempt to get a rope aboard failed, but the second was successful, and the boat, with her crew, was towed to Porthcawl. She was only half a mile from shore when picked up and would probably have become a total wreck but for the prompt action of the rescuers.—Rewards, £1 10s.

Eyemouth, Berwickshire.—On the 15th April the small motor fishing boat Chrysolite sprang a leak five miles east of Eyemouth, and started to sink rapidly. Her crew of three made distress signals, and at 6 A.M. the motor fishing boat Olive Branch left her fishing and went to the Chrysolite. The wind and sea were moderate. The Olive Branch took the Chrysolite in tow, but she was heavily water-logged and, despite every effort to beach her, she sank before reaching the shore, and her crew were rescued. The rescuers, who lost their day's fishing, incurred slight risk, and were engaged for three or four hours.—Rewards, £2 5s., and 5s. for fuel used.

Sheringham, Norfolk.—On the morning of the llth May the Sheringham fishing boats went out. Just before 8 A.M.

the sea became rough, with a north- east wind blowing. There were nine boats at sea, two of them small rowing boats, and it was too rough for them to come safely through the surf alone.

The private life-boat Henry Ramey Upcher was launched, with Mr. W. J.

Hannah, a member of the local com- mittee, in charge. Both the coxswain of the private life-boat and the cox- swain of the Institution's life-boat were at sea in the small boats. The life-boat stood by the boats, lending some of the crews life-belts in case of accidents, and all reached shore in safety.—Rewards, £15 12s. Qd.

Craster, Northumberland.—The motor fishing coble Silver Spray, of Craster, fouled her propeller in her crab-pot moorings at about noon on the 9th April. A strong westerly breeze was blowing and the sea was choppy. In answer to signals the motor fishing coble Our Girls left her pots and went to the Silver Spray, but the weather was too rough for her to be able to take her in tow. It was decided that the Our Girls should go ashore to fetch help, but before going she transferred her skipper to the Silver Spray and took off his son, who was a member of the Silver Spray's crew. Our Girls then returned ashore for help, and the Holy Island motor life-boat was launched, but her services were not needed, as the Silver Spray got in safely.—Rewards, £l 7s. 6d.

Skegnest, Lincolnshire.—On the even- ing of the 6th June the sailing smack Triune, of Wainfleet, with a crew of two, was dismasted two miles off in a strong S.S.W. wind, with a rough sea. The Skegness motor life-boat was being overhauled, so the old pulling and sailing life-boat from Coverack, which was sold out of the service last year, and is now a pleasure boat at Skegness, was manned by the life-boat coxswain, an ex-coxswain, the motor mechanic and three other men. She took the smack in tow, and brought her and her crew safely in.— Rewards, £7 10s., and 5s. for fuel used.

Falmouth, Cornwall.—On the after- noon of the 17th June two men went out fishing in Mylor Creek in a 15-feet auxiliary motor boat. The boat cap- sized and sank, both men being thrown into the water. Mr. R. Collins, a gardener, who was working at St.

Mylor Vicarage, heard cries for help.

He ran to the shore and put out single- handed in a small rowing boat. The sea was rough, with a fresh and squally southerly wind blowing. Mr. Collins found one of the two men almost exhausted and supporting himself with the help of a petrol can. He was a big man, but Mr. Collins, at some risk, succeeded in getting him into the boat.

Mr. Collins then searched for the other man, but could not find him, so he rowed ashore with the survivor.— Rewards, A framed letter of thanks and £l to Mr. R. Collins.

Amble, Northumberland.—The canoe Minx, of Tynemouth, with one man aboard, capsized off Coquet Island shortly after 1 P.M. on the 22nd June, in a moderate southerly breeze, with a moderate sea. Owing to abnormally low water the launch of the Boulmer life-boat was delayed and two motor boats from Amble were sent out by the coastguard. The motor boat Our Boy picked up the man, who was clinging to the water-logged canoe, exhausted and unconscious. He was brought ashore with all speed and revived. His canoe was recovered by the motor boat Pioneer.—Rewards, Our Boy, £3 15s., and 3s. for fuel used ; Pioneer, £3 2s. 6d., and 3s. for fuel used..
