Margate, Kent.—On the evening of the 18th July it was reported that a dinghy with a boy on board had been missing from Tankerton since the afternoon.

A moderate S.S.W. gale was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched at 7.12 P.M., and eventually found the dinghy about a quarter of a mile off North Pan Sand buoy, which is about eight miles from Whitstable and more than twelve miles from Margate. The boy was taken into the life-boat and, with his boat, was brought back to Whitstable. The lifeboat returned to her station at 1.20 A.M.
