TWO WOMEN IN BOAT CAUGHT BY GALE New York's
Saved By Beach Crowd
TWO 80-year-old women shared, with a large number of boat-anglers, off Deal recently, the alarming experience of being caught in a sudden gale which threatened dis- aster.
They were competing in the Deal and Walmer! Angling Association festival when the storm burst.
Hurriedly, the anglers started for the shore, but the sitún- tlon became so menncing to the smaller boats that the larger craft took them in tow.
Large crowds on the bench anxiously watched their pass- age through the heavy seas and driving rain.
At times the boats were lost to sight in the trough of the rollers.
UNDAUNTED
As each bost neared the shore men on the beach rushed in- to the water to grasp the ropes that were thrown to them and they had ready helpers to haul boats and anglers clear of the surf.
The women of 80 were quite undaunted.
One recalled a worse experience in the Bay of Biscay 60) years ago, and the other said: "It was all right until it rained."
SAVED BY LIFEBOAT
Another rescue of anglers was effected by Gorleston lifeboat.

Two motor-boals, containing men, were found drifting helplessly
in the gule. Three of the men had to be taken on to the fifeboat and the two boats were towed to Great Yarmouth Harbour.

A
Monster Stoned By Fisherman
Deal.
monster basking shark was seen by three Deal boatmen (Harry Bailey, George Budd and George Baker) when on the beach recently.
It was swimming rapidly parallel with the shore and only a few yards out. Bailey and Baker ran to the pier for a better view and Budd to the water's edge.
"From the pier," Bailey said, "we saw the huge fish moving quickly and quietly towards us, until Budd hit it twice with stones.
"Throwing its huge tail in the air, it lashed the water and dived between the pier piles. The next we saw of it was u hundred yards or so senward, where it lay floating with a big fin about three feet out of the water.
BLOW WITH OAR
"A Deal motor-boat, the Galaten, with E. May and J. Brown on board was passing the pier head after a night's herring Ashing. Drifting slowly down until they were along- side the fish, May struck it with an our. Spray flew in all directions us,
