Skegness, Lincolnshire.—At 9.58 in the night, on the 29th of June, 1950, the coastguard telephoned a report that a sailing boat was drifting out to sea two miles in an easterly direction from Chapel Point coastguard station, but that no distress signals had been seen.

At 10.30 the life-boat Anne Allen was launched in a smooth sea, with a light westerly breeze blowing. She found the boat, with a crew of two, off Ingold- mells Point. Her outboard engine had broken down, but was now working again. The life-boat escorted her to Skegness and, using her searchlight, helped her to beach. The crew of the boat thanked the life-boatmen and made a gift to the funds of the Institu- tion.—Rewards, £11 I3s..
