Sea Spray
Blackpool, Lancashire.—At about 9.50 P.M. on the 30th July, 1938, when the wind was freshening and the sea getting up, a cabin cruiser was seen to the south of the Central Pier. As she was approaching a lee shore, she was kept under observation. She anchored just outside the surf. The motor lifeboat Sarah Ann Austin was launched at 10.30 P.M., and found the Sea Spray with five men on board. They were bound from Liverpool to Fleetwood, but as night was coming on and they had not sailed into Fleetwood before, they had decided to anchor. They were landed by the life-boat, the cabin cruiser being left at anchor. On the afternoon of the following day the men were able to return to the Sea Spray and go on their way.—Rewards, £12 3s. 6d..
