Dungeness, Kent.—At 5.23 on the afternoon of the 12th of September, 1956, the Rye police reported that there was a young girl in the sea off Camber. At 5.35 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched. The sea was choppy, there was a moderate westerly breeze blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat went to the position and found the body of the child in the sea. The body was taken aboard the life-boat and artificial respiration was applied, without suc- cess, until the life-boat reached Dun- geness at 7.15.—Rewards to the crew, £9; rewards to the helpers on shore, £17 I ft..
