.—At 11.30 A.M.

on the 3rd November a messenger from the coastguard reported that a motor boat was in difficulties near South East Newcome Buoy. Another boat had had her in tow, but the line had parted. A moderate S.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Agnes Cross was launched at 11.45 A.M., and found that the boat was the local motor fishing boat Golden Miller, with her engine broken down. She had drifted three miles, and was shipping water. Her anchor had been lost, and her crew were exhausted by their efforts to get into safety. Life-belts were handed to the men, and the life-boat towed the boat safely round the inner edge of the Newcome Sands, where seas were breaking heavily, and so into harbour.

The life-boat returned to her station at 12.55 P.M.—Rewards, £19 19s. Qd..
