Sonny Boy

During a whole N.N.E. gale, with a very heavy sea and rain, on the afternoon of the 28th October, an object, which looked like a boat, was seen and kept under observation by the Coxswain. Later it was reported that the local motor fishing boat Sonny Boy was missing, and the Motor Life-boat Agnes Cross was launched at 3.2 P.M. She found the missing boat, with her crew of three, four miles S.W. from the South Pier sheltering on the inside part of the Newcombe Sands. She had already shipped a heavy sea and would soon have been swamped. The Life-boat took her in tow and brought her and her crew into harbour.—Rewards, £19 Os. 6d..
