Runswick, Yorkshire.—At 3.30 on the afternoon of the 7th of July, 1957, the honorary secretary received a tele- phone message that two men were being blown out to sea in a small dinghy. At 3.50 the life-boat The Elliott Gill was launched in a choppy sea. There was a south-westerly gale blowing with heavy rain showers, andthe tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the dinghy two miles north-east of Runswick. She took the two men on board and the dinghy in tow. On returning to the shore, the life-boat came up with an abandoned yacht and towed her ashore too. She reached her station again at 4.50.—- Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 19s..
