Dover, Kent.—At 11.48 on the night of the 9th of March, 1954, the Sandgate coastguard telephoned that a woman had scrambled down a cliff near St.

Margaret's Bay. She had gone down to comfort her dog, which had fallen over, and was cut off by the tide. At 12.6 on the 10th the life-boat Southern Africa put to sea, taking a dinghy with her. The sea was calm, and there was a light south-easterly breeze. The life-boat found the woman and her dog at the Bigfall, west of St. Mar- garet's Bay. The coastguards at the cliff top lit a flare to show the position.

The life-boat motor mechanic and another life-boatman landed, using the dinghy. They carried the injured dog and helped the woman to the dinghy, which transferred them to the life-boat. A wireless message was sent for a vet, who was waiting at Dover when the life-boat arrived at 3.10. The dog died. The woman became a subscriber to the funds of the Institution and made gifts to the motor mechanic and life-boatman.—Rewards £13 15s..
