Dover, Kent.—At 12.48 in the morn- ing of the 16th of January, 1949, the Sandgate coastguard telephoned that the S.S. Llanstephan Castle had reported that a Sea Scout launch had broken down five miles south of Folkestone, and the life-boat Mary Scott, on tem- porary duty at the station, was launched at 1.15 in a light south-westerly breeze.

She found the motor launch Silver Wake, bound for London with a crew of three men and three scouts, six miles south-south-west of Dover. The scouts' belonged to a Westminster Group. The life-boat towed the launch to Dover, and reached her station again at 4 o'clock. The Sea Scout Group expressed its thanks. •— Rewards, £10 15*..
