DINGHY NOT IN DIFFICULTY Donaghadee, Co. Down. At 2.39 p.m.

on Sunday the 29th September, 1963, the honorary secretary's wife received a telephone message from the Orlock coastguard that they had been told by the Bangor police that a sailing dinghy was missing. The coastguards were referred to the motor mechanic, who received a further message at three o'clock that the boat still could not be seen. The life-boat Sir Samuel Kelly was launched at 3.10. The tide was ebbing and the weather squally with a rough sea and fresh breeze from the north-west. The life-boat found the sailing dinghy Wren, crewed by a brother and sister, at 4.40 and escorted them until 5.05. As they were in no difficulty the life-boat returned to her station at 6.10. A letter of appreciation was received from the owner of the sailing dinghy..
