Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—At 12.32 on the afternoon of the 24th of August, 1957, the Worthing police reported that a dinghy had capsized a quarter of a mile off Lancing beach. The life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched at 12.43 in a calm sea.

There was a gentle westerly breeze and the tide was ebbing. The life- boat made for the position and found a small boat towing the dinghy. The occupants of the dinghy were already safely ashore. As there was a danger that the small boat would also capsize the life-boat escorted her to the shore.

She then returned to her station, arriving at 2.15.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 Is..
