— On the morning of the 29th December, as the local motor fishing coble Britannia was at sea, and a very heavy ground swell was breaking across the mouth of the haven, making entry difficult and dangerous, it was decided to send out the pulling and sailing life-boat Forester in case her help was wanted. She was launched at 10.45 A.M., met the coble outside the haven, and escorted her through very heavy breakers to safety.

She arrived back at her station at noon.—Rewards, £16 15s..
