Dover, Kent.-—On the afternoon of the 31st of July, 1949, the life-boat crew stood by, as a large number of boats were afloat in the har- bour and a south-westerly gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. They saw the yacht Foynes in danger of drifting on to the East Wall of Camber, and the life-boat Southern Africa was launched at half past two, but the yacht's crew of three succeeded in getting her clear without help. The life-boat then went to the Outer Har- bour and there found two men in the rowing boat Young Jack, quite unable to manage her in that weather. She took the men on board and towed their boat to the Dock Head. While making for her station she saw yet another boat in difficulties, the rowing boat Victor, with two men on board, and towed her into sheltered water near the Prince of Wales' Pier. The life- boat then returned to her station at five o'clock. A letter of thanks was received from the crew of the Young Jack.—Rewards, £6 13s..
