Dover, Kent.—At 5.35 on the after- noon of the 26th of July, 1953, the Sandgate coastguard rang up to say that the motor cruiser Hareth had broken down and had anchored off St.

Margaret's Bay with seven people on board. At 5.50 the life-boat The Lord Southborough, Civil Service No. 1 put out. There was a rough sea and a strong south-westerly breeze was blow- ing. The life-boat found the Hareth half a mile off shore making heavy weather. She put a rope on board and held her while the crew of the Hareth weighed anchor. The rope parted after the life-boat had begun to tow, but it was connected up again, and the life-boat towed the Hareth slowly to Dover, arriving at 7.50.—Rewards, £5 10s..
