Walton and Frinton, Essex.—In the early afternoon of the 19th of Septem- ber, 1948, the coastguard telephoned that a man had gone out in a rowing boat, to tow in a dinghy which had blown out to sea, was unable to make headway and was getting exhausted, and at half past one the motor life-boat E.M.E.D. left her moorings in a light west-south-westerly breeze with a choppy sea. She found that the man had given up his attempt to tow and had made for the shore, so she took the dinghy in tow and returned to her station at 3.45. The owner of the dinghy made a donation and the man in the rowing boat expressed his thanks.
