Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.—At 7.20 P.M. on the 5th July, 1939, the coastguard reported two men were in danger on a pile-driver at Milford-on-Sea. A moderate squally S.S.\V. gale was blowing, with a rough breaking sea.

The motor life-boat S.G.E. was launched at 7.32 A.M. and went to the pile-driver, which was then two hundred yards from the shore. The life-boat anchored to windward, veered down and with some difficulty rescued the two men. They were given stimulants and taken to Yarmouth.—Rewards, £7 16*..
