A Canoe (1)

the morn- ing of the 14th September a young visitor to Saundersfoot put out in a canoe. A strong W.S.W. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. About half a mile off shore the canoe capsized, and was blown another mile out to sea with the boy clinging to it. The coastguard informed the life-boat station, and the motor life-boat John R. Webb put out at noon. She found that a rowing boat had managed to get out of Saundersfoot and was just taking the boy from the water. She towed rowing boat and canoe back to Saundersfoot, and returned to her station at 1.15 P.M.—Rewards, £614s. 6d.
