Dungeness, Kent.—At 4.24 in the afternoon, on the 9th of April, 1950, the Lade coastguard telephoned that a sailing dinghy had capsized half a mile off Littlestone, tipping two people into the sea. At 4.38 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched in a choppy sea, with a westerly gale blowing. She found the dinghy five miles north-by-east of the life-boat station. A motor boat had picked up the two people and was standing by.

The life-boat righted the dinghy and towed it to her station, arriving at 5.45.

The motor boat landed the two persons at Littlestone.—Rewards, £21 17s..
