Dover, Kent.—At 2.17 on the after- noon of the 13th of August, 1957, the Sandgate coastguard telephoned to say a motor boat was in difficulties alongside the South Goodwin light- vessel. The life-boat Southern Africa put out at 2.30 in a rough sea.

There was a strong south-westerly breeze and it was high water. The life-boat came up with the lightvessel and took off the crew of two of the speedboat Albatross, who were already aboard the lightvessel. The speed- boat, which the lightship's crew had slung up into a davit, was lowered into the water, and the life-boat towed her back to Dover, arriving at her station at 5.40.—Rewards to the crew, etc..
