Walmer, Kent.—At 10.35 on the morning of the 3rd of May, 1953, ship- ping agents in Dover asked if the life- boat -would take a doctor to the motor vessel Aridity, of London, anchored off Deal, as a man in her had been flung across her galley and injured.

At 10.4.5 the life-boat Charles Dibdin Civil Service No 2 was launched with a doctor on board, and made for the vessel in a moderate sea with a light northerly breeze blowing. She put the doctor on board and then landed the injured man, reaching her station again at 11.30.—Rewards £16 14s..
