Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.—At 4.10 on the afternoon of the 24th of August, 1954, the police reported that a dinghy, with two children on board, was adrift off the entrance to Beaulieu River.

At 7.28 the life-boat The Lord South- borough, Civil Service No. 1, on tem- porary duty at the station, put to sea in a flood tide. The sea was choppy, and a fresh breeze was blow- ing from the north. Off East Lepe Buoy the life-boat came up with a pilot cutter, which had picked up the children and their dinghy. The children were transferred to the life- boat, which then towed the dinghy to the shore. She landed the children and returned to her station, arriving at 6.40.—Rewards, £7 1,?. 6rf..
