Dover, Kent;—At 1 P.M. on the 1st November a message was received from the Royal Naval Shore Signal Station that a small boat was making signals of distress east of Dover harbour.

A moderate N. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The life-boat's motor boarding-boat, William Myatt, put out at 1.5 P.M., picked up the boat—the Tom Tit, of Dover, with two men on board—about a mile to the east, and towed her into harbour.

She returned to her moorings at 1.40 P.M.—-Permanent paid crew..
