Dover, Kent.—At 11.10 in the morn- ing of the 7th of August, 1948, the dockyard police reported that a small boat had capsized in the bay, and ten minutes later the motor life-boat J. B.

Proudfoot was launched. The sea was rough and a strong south-weste'rly breeze was blowing. In the meantime a rowing boat had been launched from the beach, rescued the two men of the capsized boat, 'and landed them on a jetty. The two rescuers in the rowing boat then got into difficulties and were in danger of being driven on to the sea- wall. The life-boat passed a line to them, and two life-boatmen jumped into their boat and helped them into the life-boat. With the men on board and the boat in tow. the life-boat came into the inner harbour at half past twelve.—Rewards £5 17s..
