Swanage, Dorset - At 4.38 p.m. on 26th October, 1968, it was learnt that a sailing dinghy with five people on board had capsized in the Peveril Ledge tide race. The life-boat R.L.P.

was launched at 4.47. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat found that the dinghy had been righted and two of the five people had managed to regain the boat. The dinghy, however, was being filled again by the choppy seas and the five survivors - they were cold and exhausted - were taken on board the life-boat, where they were wrapped in blankets. The bowman was put aboard the dinghy to bail her out while the life-boat took her in tow. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.25 p.m. The five made a donation to the Institution's funds..
