A Rubber Dinghy

Cromer, Norfolk.—During the morn- ing of the 2nd of September, 1948, the engines of the No. 1 life-boat Henry Blogg were being tested as she lay at moorings. At half past eleven the coxswain noticed a small boy being carried out to sea in a rubber dinghy, and the Henry Blogg immediately put out in a squally south-westerly breeze with a moderate swell. She reached the dinghy three-quarters of a mile away, rescued the boy, and returned to her station, arriving at a quarter past twelve.—Rewards, £11. 2s. 6d..
