Redcar, Yorkshire. At 10.30 on the morning of the 21st of June, 1960, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that the beach patrol at Saltburn had seen two boys leave Salt- burn at 9.30 that morning in a small canoe. He had lost sight of them and was concerned for their safety, for he had noticed that they had shipped water when launching. The life-boat City of Leeds was launched at 10.40 and made for the position given.

The boys were found off Skinningrove, and although they were in no immediate danger, they and their canoe were taken on board the life-boat, which reached her station at 12.45. Rewards to the crew, £6 ; rewards to helpers on shore, £6 2s..
