Hastings, Sussex.—At eight o'clock on the evening of the 7th of Mav, 1055, the Fail-light coastguard telephoned that a message had been received from the Eastbourne police that two men were adrift in a dinghy two miles off Langney Point. At 8.18 the life-boat M.T.C. was launched in a slight sea with a light west-south-west breeze blowing and a flooding tide. The men had lost an oar and their dinghy was waterlogged. The life-boat rescued them and towed the dinghy to Hastings, arriving at 11.15.—Rewards to the crew, £6 13.9.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £10 7s. 6d..
