Weymouth, Dorset. At 9.55 on the evening of the 4th of June, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a hired rowing boat with three men on board had not returned to Weymouth pier. The honorary secretary decided not to launch the life-boat until daylight to allow further enquiries to be made. At 4.35 in the morning the life-boat Frank Splller Locke put out one hour after low water, in a light north- easterly wind and a calm sea. She carried out a search over a wide area in which a helicopter co-operated and eventually found the missing boat ashore at Bincleaves. There was no sign of the three men and the boat was brought back to Weymouth, the life-boat reach- ing her station at 7.50. No lives are reported to have been lost. Rewards to the crew, £9 16s. ; reward to the helper on shore, 16s..
