DINGHY IN A ROUGH SEA Ramsgate, Kent.—• At 4.16 in the afternoon of the 14th of December, 1947, the coastguard telephoned a message from the Broadstairs Sailing Club that owing to the wind and tide one of their dinghies could not reach Broadstairs. A light northerly breeze was blowing with a rough sea. A second message said that the dinghy was in difficulties and at 4.36 the motor life-boat Prudential was launched. She found the sailing dinghy Rover, with one man aboard, between Louisa Gap and Dumpton Gap. Her sail had carried away and she was drifting.

The life-boat towed her to the harbour and arrived back at her station at 5.23. A donation was received from the man in the dinghy.—Rewards, £7 13«..
