A Small Boat Named Bee

At about 4.45 P.M. on 28th December, 1931, information was received from a fisher- man that a small boat, with two men, had been seen drifting helplessly out to sea. A moderate N.N.W. gale was blowing with a rough sea. The Motor Life-boat Henry Vernon put out and found the boat to be the Bee with two brothers on board. As they were in an exhausted condition and the boat was waterlogged, the men were taken into the Life-boat and the boat was east adrift.—Rewards, £17 6s. &d..
