Poole, Dorset.—At 6.15 on the even- ing of the 26th of March, 1955, the police reported that a man and his wife had put out in the local motor launch Renif, but had been missing since 2.35.

At 6.30 the life-boat Thomas Kirk Wright was launched. The sea was rough, a moderate south-westerly gale was blowing, and it was one hour after low water. The life-boat found the Renif broken down at Rum Row in the centre of the harbour. She took on board the two people and towed the launch to Poole, arriving at 8.40. The man and his wife expressed their thanks.—Rewards, £8 4s..
