Dover, Kent. At 1.15 on the after- noon of the 22nd of April, 1959, the eastern arm signal station informed the honorary secretary that a small dinghy with an outboard motor was drifting half a mile south of the signal station.

At 1.39 the life-boat, John R. Webb, on temporary duty at the station, put out in a calm sea. There was a light easterly breeze and an ebb tide. The life-boat found the dinghy with her engine broken down. Her crew of four were taken on board, and with the dinghy in tow the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 2.25. One of the dinghy's crew made a donation to the Institution's funds. Rewards to the crew, £4 5s..
