Dover, Kent.—On the 4th of January, 1955, the Superintendent of Trinity House at Harwich asked if the life- boat would land an injured fog-signal driver from the South Goodwin light- vessel, as the weather was too bad for a shore-boat to put out. At four o'clock in the afternoon the life-boat Southern Africa was launched in a rough sea, with a strong easterly- breeze blowing and a blizzard. She took the man on board and wirelessed for an ambulance to meet her at Dover.

She landed the man at 6.20.—Rewards, £9 5s. Refunded to the Institution by Trinity House..
