Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.— At 9.30 on the morning of the 7th of August, 1951, the Walton Bay Signal Station reported that some sea cadets sailing a whaler to Newport, Monmouth- shire, from Clevedon, had anchored in a dangerous position off Lady Point.

They had signalled that one of the boys had lost the top of a finger. This whaler had previously been seen in difficulties from Clevedon pier; and at 9.55 the life-boat Fifi and Charles was launched in a strong westerly breeze with a rough sea. She found the whaler, with six boys and an adult, three-quarters of a mile north of the pier and close to a rocky shore. She rescued them, took the whaler in tow, and landed all seven at Clevedon, arriving back at her station at 1.0 that afternoon.—Rewards, £14 11s..
