Dungeness, Kent. —At 11.50 in the morning of the 27th of July, 1949, the Lade coastguard reported a dinghy off Littlestone making distress signals, and at noon the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched in a light breeze with a choppy sea. She found the dinghy four miles north by east of the life-boat station being blown sea- wards. She had two men on board.

The life-boat towed her to Littlestone and arrived back at her station at 1.45 that afternoon.-—Rewards, £21 17s..
