TWO CALLS TO DINGHIES IN ONE EVENING Blackpool, Lancashire. At 5.45 on the evening of the 1st June, 1963, the Fleetwood coastguard telephoned to say three youths in a rubber dinghy were drifting out to sea a mile off Rossall Point. At 6.15 the life-boat Maria Noble was launched. The tide was flooding, there was a fresh north-easterly breeze, and the sea was moderate. The lifeboat found the dinghy three and a half miles off Rossall, rescued the youths and took the dinghy aboard, reaching her station at 8.25. At this time the police notified the honorary secretary that a sailing dinghy, which had a crew of two, had capsized off Squire's Gate and that the two people were clinging to it. After landing the youths from the rubber dinghy the life-boat therefore put out again. The tide was now ebbing, and the wind had strengthened. The life-boat made a search and found the dinghy a mile and a half off Squire's Gate. By then another boat had picked up the two people. The life-boat took the dinghy on board and made for her station, which she reached at 9.25..
