AN article was published in the last number of The Life-boat (Autumn, 1950) on the great danger of rubber dinghies, and a list was given of life-boats launched to their help in the summer of 1950. There were ten launches and eighteen lives were rescued. The totals were correctly given, but in the list of ten launches there were two where no lives were rescued, at New Brighton on the 6th of June, and at Dungeness on the 18th of July, and by error the list gave in each case "rescued 8." At New Brighton after a search had been made it was found to be a false alarm, and at Dungeness the life-boat was recalled, as the man in the dinghy had been picked up by a small boat..
