Hastings, Sussex.—On the afternoon of the 19th August a man told the honorary secretary that his speed-boat was anchored off the bathing pool, with her engine broken down, and that the weather was too bad for him to go off to her and fetch her in. An increasing strong S.W. breeze was blowing, with squalls, a moderate sea, and rain. The motor life-boat Cyril and Lilian Bishop was launched at 5.33 P.M., towed the speed-boat in to safety, and returned to her station at 6.50 P.M. As on previous occasions, the honorary secretary, Commander W. Highfield, O.B.E., R.N., went on service with the life-boat.—Property Salvage Case..
