Dover, Kent.—At 7.30 P.M. on the 3rd August, during fine weather, the second coxswain saw signals from the base of the cliffs in Langdon Bay, and put off with the second motor mechanic and another man in the life-boat's motor boarding-dinghy. They found that three men, who had tried to walk from St. Margaret's Bay, had been cut off by the tide and were marooned on a ledge about twenty feet up the cliff.

While they were being rescued one of them was hit on the head and injured by a stone thrown from the top of the cliff. The boarding-boat returned with them at 9 P.M. The injured man wastaken to the life-boat and given first aid, and then taken to hospital.— Rewards, 12*. 6d. Partly permanent crew..
