Dover, Kent.—On the morning of the 3rd June six children belonging to the Dover garrison were cut off by the tide under Shakespeare Cliff. A moderate N.E. gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor boarding boat William Myatt, attached to the Dover life-boat, put out about midday with a crew of six and a dinghy in tow. Meanwhile a police sergeant had been lowered down the cliffs to the children. The dinghy was sent in but the first attempt failed as there was great danger of the dinghy being smashed. The dinghy went in again, with an anchor and cables from the motor boat, and this time she was able to get near enough for the police sergeant to pass the children to her and then to board her himself.

Sergeant and children were got safely from the dinghy to the boarding boat and she brought them ashore.—Partly permanent crew: Rewards, £2 2s. Qd..
