On the night of the 18th October the honorary secretary received word from West Angle and St. Ann's Head that rockets were being fired in Mill Bay. A moderate S.S.E. gale was blowing, with a rough sea, and visibility was poor.

The motor life-boat Elizabeth Elson was launched at 8.45 P.M. and found the motor trawler Foxhound, of Ostend, in a very dangerous position close to the rocks. The life-boat anchored and veered down and rescued the crew of four, landing them safely at Milford.

She returned to her station at midnight, but could not be rehoused for some time on account of the heavy weather.

Mr. A. W. Gutch, the branch honorary secretary, went with the life-boat.— Rewards, £17 4s. 6d..
