Weymouth, Dorset.—At four o'clock on the morning of the 19th of October, 1955, the Wyke Regis coastguard telephoned that the submarine Tijger- haai, of the Royal Netherlands Navy, had grounded in Weymouth Bay.

Half an hour later the life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson, on tem- porary duty at the station, put out.

The sea was rough, a gale was blowing from the south-east, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found the submarine a quarter of a mile off shore. A tug was with her, and the life-boat and the tug stood by her until she refloated under her own power at 6.25. The life-boat accom- panied her to Portland harbour, and then returned to her station, arriving at 7.17.-—Expressions of appreciation were received from the naval base at Portland.—Rewards to the crew, £10 10s.; reward to the helper on shore, 125..
