Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—At 8.14 on the morning of the 26th of February, 1956, the coastguard rang up to say that the Brighton police had reported that a ten-feet dinghy was adrift one mile south-east of the Brighton Palace pier. At 8.25 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched.

The sea was calm, there was a light north-north-east breeze, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found that there was no one aboard the dinghy, but she towed it to Shoreham Harbour, arriving at her station at ten o'clock.

—Rewards to the crew, £8 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 Is.
