Mr. Ken Adams, of Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, has been awarded a certifi- cate by the R.N.L.I. as the writer of what was, in the Institution's opinion, the best factual newspaper account of a service by a life-boat published in 1968. His report, which appeared in the East Anglian Daily Times on 18th March, described the service by the Walton life-boat to three exhausted anglers on board a cabin cruiser in the River Blackwater area..
