Dover, Kent. At 1.43 on the after- noon of the 20th of July, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that the police had reported a rowing boat in difficulties off Copt Point. At two o'clock the life-boat Southern Africa put out in a rough sea, with a moderate westerly wind blowing and a flood tide. The life-boat made for the posi- tion, but before she reached it a message was received that the boat had been taken in tow by a motor boat. At 2.52 a message was sent to the life-boat that four men in a rowing boat needed help off Sandgate Castle. The life-boat immediately made for this position, rescued the four men and took their boat in tow to Folkestone. She then returned to her moorings, arriving at 5.40. Rewards to the crew, etc., £10 Is..
