Eastbourne, Sussex. — During the afternoon of the 5th April, 1938, with a fresh west breeze blowing and a moderate sea, the motor yacht May Queen, of Lowestoft, bound from there to Littlehampton, was capsized about a mile off Eastbourne front by a sudden squall. Her crew of two were thrown into the water. She righted herself and they got aboard again, but the yacht's mast had been torn out of the deck and she had shipped a lot of water.

The men made signals for help and the motor life-boat Jane Holland was launched at 3.15 P.M. She towed the yacht into Newhaven, and returned to her station at 10.30 P.M.—Rewards, £29 18s. 6d..
