Dover, Kent.—At 7.15 on the evening of the 16th of February, 1957, the Sandgate coastguard telephoned that the motor boat Venture, of Folkestone, with one man aboard, was overdue from a fishing trip off Shakespeare cliff.

The life-boat Southern Africa put out at 8.10 in a moderate sea. There was a moderate south-westerly breeze blowing and the tide was ebbing. After searching for an hour and a half the life-boat found the motor boat west of Abbotscliff with her trawl entangled in her propeller. She took her in tow to Folkestone and then returned to her moorings, arriving at 11.50. The owner of the motor boat made a dona- tion to the Institution's funds.— Rewards to the crew, etc., £9..
