Skegness, Lincolnshire.—At 5.8 in the evening, on the 28th of June, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that a rubber dinghy was in distress off North Shore.

At 5.34 the life-boat Anne Allen was launched in a choppy sea with a strong south-westerly breeze blowing. She found three women, a young girl and two men in the dinghy, one and a half miles north-east of the pier. Rescuing them, she took their dinghy in tow and reached her station again at 6.30. The rescued made a gift to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards, £10 15s..
