A Small Boat (4)

On the 31st March a visitor went for a row in a small boat, but was carried out to sea by the wind and tide. He was seen by the coastguard, and the motor life-boat Westmorland was launched to his help at 12.23 P.M. A strong W.S.W. breeze was blowing with a moderate sea. The life-boat reached the boat about two and a half miles outside the pier. She rescued the man and towed the boat back, returning to her station at 1.5 P.M.— Rewards, £7 6*. 6d..
