Cadgwith, Cornwall. — About one o'clock on the afternoon of the 14th of August, 1955, the life-boat honorary secretary, Mr. J. F. Gibson, saw a sailing dinghy go ashore at Sperric Cove. At 1.30 the life-boat Guide of Dunkirk was launched, with Mr.

Gibson on board. The sea was smooth, there was a moderate north-westerly breeze, and it was one hour before high water. The life-boat found that a woman had got into difficulties in a canvas dinghy, but had been able to haul the dinghy over the rocks. The members of the life-boat crew threw a heaving line to the woman and pulled her off to the life-boat in her dinghy.

They then took her and the dinghy on board and returned to their station, arriving at three o'clock.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £13 16s..
