Dungeness, Kent.—At 12.30 on the afternoon of the 13th of August, 1957, a report was received that a small boat appeared to be dragging her anchors one mile north-east of the station.

The boat was kept under observation and at 1.5 it was decided to launch the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson.

There was a choppy sea, a moderate south-westerly breeze was blowing, and it was high water. The life-boat came up with the boat, which had a crew of two, and took her in tow to the life-boat station, arriving at two o'clock.—Rewards to the crew, £8; rewards to the helpers on shore, £11 11s..
