Coxswain Jeffrey Wright, of Fleetwood, and the moter mechanic, Sydney Hill, have been awarded the Institution's silver medal, and each of the other four members of the crew its vellum, for rescuing the crew of a motor schooner from the Faroe Islands. A gale was blowing; the life-boat was short handed; the rescue had to be carried out at full speed for fear the men of the schooner would drop out of the rigging; and the life-boat was smashed against the wreck and damaged.

Coxswain J. E. Dumble, of Sheringham, has won the bronze medal for the rescue of 15 lives from a Canadian steamer after a very difficult launch in a rough sea..
