Dover, Kent.—At 4.20 on the after- noon of the 17th of May, 1955, Lloyds signal station reported that a whaler, with five boys from Dover College oil board, which had a dinghy in tow with three boys on board, had been blown out of Dover harbour through the eastern entrance. At 4.35 the life-boat E.M.E.D., on temporary duty at the station, put out. The sea was rough, a fresh gale was blowing from the south-west, and it was two hours after low water. The life-boat came up with the boats half a mile east of the harbour and rescued the boys, who were wet and cold. She took the whaler and dinghy in tow and returned to her station, arriving at 5.50. Dover College made a gift to the members of the life-boat crew.—Rewards to the crew, £5 5*.; reward to the helper on shore, 5s..
