ON page 379 appears the account of the rescue, on 7th September, by the motor life-boat at Moelfre, Anglesey, of a dinghy, with a man and woman on board her, which was being carried out to sea. Here is a description of the same service—as the rescued saw it. It is by Mr. H. Vost, of Manchester, and was written on the day of the rescue.

" This afternoon I had the misfortune, while out in a small sailing dinghy in company with Miss M. Campagnac, to be caught in a sudden squall and an ever-increasing offshore wind. In spite of all my efforts to return into Benllech, it soon became apparent ;hat I could do nothing but run before he gale, which at once placed me in very dangerous position with so mall a boat.

" The approach of the Moelfre life- oat was one of the greatest comforts have ever experienced. The red, hite and blue boat, pounding its 'ay through the flying spray, with as steadily increasing, and the grey wind-swept skies as its background, made, together with my feelings, a picture and impression that will ever be an unforgettable memory. The manner in which your coxswain, Mr.

Matthews, brought his boat alongside my frail and imperilled craft in a wind- lashed sea, and with the assistance of his crew took myself and companion on board, was an example of seamanship of which he may justly be proud.

" The dinghy taken in tow, and together with its occupants landed safely at the life-boat station, I sup- pose just ended another episode in the history of the great work your Institu- tion relentlessly carries on. I would further like to pay tribute to the families of Mr. Matthews and Mr.

Williams, who so willingly provided a further example of the fine spirit your men must have, in providing us with rest and refreshment.

" It seems impossible for me to say more at -the moment than ' Thank you,' and ' God spare you all in your great work of the future.' ".
