Two fishermen of Appledore went mackerel fishing off Rock's Nose on the afternoon of the llth August. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, and the sea was smooth.

A sudden squall capsized the boat, and both men were thrown into the water, but luckily the anchor fell out and kept the boat stationary. They were seen from the shore clinging to the upturned boat, and the Motor Life-boat V. C. S.

was launched at 3.30 P.M. to their help.

She took the men aboard, and then returned to Appledore, towing the fishing boat. A doctor was waiting when the Life-boat landed, but the men were none the worse for their experience.— Rewards, £6 11s..
