Fowey, Cornwall.—At 5.7 on the even- ing of the 9th of September, 1952, the Polruan coastguard telephoned that a sailing dinghy between two and three miles south of Polruan had had her sails blown away, and at 5.25 the life- boat C.D.E.C. left her moorings. The sea was calm with a fresh northerly breeze blowing, and she found the dinghy three miles south of Polruan, with two boys on board. The dinghy was being blown seawards, but the life-boat rescued the boys and towed their dinghy to Fowey, arriving at 7.0.

The father of the boys, who were on holiday at Polruan, thanked the life- boatmen and made a donation to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards, £5 5s..
