Dungeness, Kent. — At 9.15 on the morning of the 29th of October, 1950, the Ramsgate coastguard reported that the motor cruiser Cambrian had asked for the help of the life-boat; and at 9.23 the Charles Cooper Henderson was launched in a heavy ground sea with a fresh to strong breeze. She found the motor cruiser five miles north-west of Varne lightvessel. The master asked the life-boat to escort him to Dover as his ship was leaking. On her way, however, the life-boat intercepted a wireless message from the Varne light- vessel that she had on board three boys.

They had been rescued by the crew of the lightvessel from a small boat and were in need of a doctor. Putting two of his crew aboard the motor cruiser the coxswain made for the lightvessel, picked up the three boys and took them to Folkestone, where a doctor and ambulance were waiting. Mean- while, the Cambrian had been safely brought into Dover. The two life- boatmen rejoined their boat at Folke- stone and the life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 4.20 in the afternoon.—Rewards, £46 9s..
