Dover, Kent. — At 5.57 on the evening of the 30th of May, 1955. the Sandgate coastguard telephoned that two boys had been cut off by the tide at Big Fall, South Foreland.' At 6.20 the life-boat E.M.E.D., on temporary duty at the station, put out, taking a dinghy with her. The sea was moderate, a fresh breeze was blowing from the eastward, and it was one hour before high water. The life-boat found an auxiliary coastguardsman, two boys and a dog. The coastguards- man had been lowered over the cliff to the boys, but had fallen and had been badly shaken. Two members of the life-boat crew took the dinghy inshore, rescued all three people and the dog, and transferred them to the life-boat, which then returned to her station, arriving at 7.30.—Rewards to thecrew, £3 15.9.; reward to the helper on shore, 5s..
