Dover, Kent. At 3.30 on the after- noon of the 21st of September, 1959, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a rowing boat was in difficulties in Wear Bay. The life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings at 3.50 in a moderate sea. A fresh south- westerly wind was blowing, and it was one hour after high water. While the life-boat was on her way a message was received that the boat had been taken in tow by a motor boat. The life-boat reached the two boats and escorted them to Folkestone. She reached her station at 5.50. Rewards to the crew, £7 5s..
