Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—At 2.25 in the afternoon of the 25th of April, 1949, information was ree«ived that the lightkeeper of the St. Helen's Fort was drifting seawards in a rowing boat, and at 2.45 the life-boat Jesse Lumb was launched in a light, squally north- westerly breeze, with a slight sea. She found the boat one mile north-east of the coastguard station, rescued the man, who was exhausted, and towed his boat back to the fort. She reached her station again at 3.48.—Rewards, £7 2s.
