Dover, Kent.—At 1.30 in the after- noon of the 8th of April, 1950, the life- boat mechanic saw a rowing boat in the outer harbour in need of help.

At 1.40 the life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings. The sea was very rough, and there was a moderate south- westerly gale blowing. She found the rowing boat Jenny and rescued the three men on board; then took the boatin tow and landed the men at the dock head. Then the life-boatmen noticed another yacht, Our Jim, also with a crew of three, pounding against the Prince of Wales Pier, so, at the skipper's request, she towed her to Wellington dock. This done, she returned to her station, arriving at four o'clock.— Rewards, £6 185..
