Weymouth, Dorset.—At 5.45 on the morning of the 27th of July, 1952, the Wyke Regis coastguard telephoned that a dinghy was drifting one and a half miles south-south-east of Portland Bill, and at 6.0 the life-boat William and Clara Kyland left her moorings.

The sea was moderate, with a light north-easterly breeze blowing. The life-boat found an empty dinghy four miles west-south-west of Portland, took it on board, and returned to her station, arriving at 8.45. The dinghy belonged to a Weymouth boy, and his father made a donation to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards, £7 1*. Qd..
