Dungeness, Kent.—At 10.20 on the morning of the 26th of August, 1950, the Sandgate coastguard reported that a fishing boat had broken down one mile west of Sandgate. She was flying a shirt on an oar as a distress signal.

At 10.47 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched, in a very choppy sea with a strong breeze blow- ing from the south-south-west. She found the fishing boat Our Betty, of Folkestone, with a crew of three, and towed her to Folkestone Harbour.

Then she returned to her station, arriving at 3.35 in the afternoon.— Rewards, £31 5,9..
