Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.—At 5.25 in the evening on the 2nd of Feb- ruary, 1950, the pier master reported that a landing craft of the Royal Navy had fired Verey lights in the direction of the Langford Grounds. At 5.55 the life-boat Fifi and Charles was launched, accompanied by the honorary secretary, Mr. R. J. S. Crowe. In a fresh southerly gale with heavy break- ing seas and rain, she found the landing craft, with a crew of sixteen, drifting towards Black Rock. Her propeller had fouled. The life-boat rescued the men, took them to Uphill and then moored in the River Axe at 8.45 for the night. The landing craft; was towed to Cardiff the next day by another vessel. The Naval Authorities expressed their thanks. — Rewards, £17 Is..
