At 8.35 P.M.

on the 18th February, information was received from the Coastguard that rocket signals had been seen between Pepper- combe and Clovelly, but that nothing further was known. The motor Life- boat V.C.S. was launched at 9.15 P.M., in a moderate E. breeze, to investigate the signals. After Cruising in a large area without seeing any vessel in distress she returned to her Station, having been out for about five hours.— Rewards, £19 5s..
