On the evening of the 19th July the Coxswain was told by boatmen that a motor boat was in difficulties near the Long Nose Buoy, and was drifting out to sea on the ebb tide. A light easterly breeze was blow- ing and the sea was smooth. The Motor Life-boat Lord Soutkborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched at 6.30 P.M.

She found that the boat was the motor boat Sea Breeze, of Birchington, with a man, woman and child aboard, and that her engine had broken down. The Life-boat towed her safely back to Margate.—Rewards, £6 3s..
