Shortly before mid- night on the 3rd-4th July a wireless message was received that an aeroplane had come down between the South Goodwin Lightship and the Brake Buoy.

The weather was fine with a light S.W.

breeze and smooth sea. The fast Motor Life-boat Sir William Hillary went out, but was recalled by wireless, as a further message reported that the aeroplane had landed on the sands at Calais.—Re- wards, £3 15s..
