A Canoe

Eastbourne, Sussex.—At 11.5 on the morning of the 3rd of November, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that a canoe was drifting two and a half miles south of the pier, and at 11.20 the life-boatBeryl Tollemache was launched in a rough sea, with a strong north-wes- terly breeze blowing. She found an empty canoe three miles south of the pier, picked it up and returned to her station, arriving at 12.3.—Rewards, £20 6,s..
