Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—The motor life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched at 5.30 P.M. on the 17th February, 1938, on a message from the coastguard that they had seen a schooner drift ashore west of Shoreham.

A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea, and the weather was cloudy with drizzling rain. The life-boat could not see the schooner at first and did not find her until 8.30 P.M. She was the auxiliary schooner Kerroch, of Paimpol, bound in ballast from St. Malo for Norway, with a crew of six. The life-boat stood by for some time, and then at the request of the master tried to tow her clear.

She got her oft at about J1.30 P.M., towed her into Shoreham Harbour, and returned to her own station at 1.40 A.M.
