Smiling Morn

Southwold, Suffolk.—On the afternoon of the 5th June the Aldeburgh coastguard reported that a small motor fishing boat belonging to Southwold was passing northwards and making heavy weather. She was the Smiling Morn, with the life-boat's secondcoxswain on board. A fresh breeze to moderate gale was blowing from the N.N.E., and there was a moderate swell. As the Smiling Morn would be unable to make harbour without help the motor life-boat Mary Scott was launched at 12.15 P.M., towed her in, and returned to her station at 2.20 P.M.—Rewards, £7 15s. 6d..
