Girvan, Ayrshire.—At 12.30 in the afternoon, on the 20th of August, 1950, a resident telephoned that rowing boats were in difficulties outside the harbour.

At 12.40 the life-boat Lily Glen- Glasgow, left her moorings. The sea was rough with a strong south-south- east breeze blowing. She found' two boats about one mile out, one with two people and the other with three. The life-boat took them on board, landed them, and on getting another message that a rowing boat was making signals six miles out to sea, put out again. She found two men exhausted, rescued them, and arrived back at three o'clock.
