Lowestoft, Suffolk.—At 6.55 in the evening of the 1st of May, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that a fourteen- feet international class sailing dinghy, with a crew of two, had capsized half a mile south-east of the harbour, and at 7.15 the life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings. There was a heavy swell with a strong easterly breeze blowing.

The life-boat found the two men clinging to the dinghy with the sea washing right over them. They were nearly exhausted. The life-boatmen rescued them, applied artificial res- piration, and landed them in the har- bour, where an ambulance was waiting, at 8.55.—Rewards, £7 11s..
