Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—At 5.12 P.M. on the 4th August, 1938, the coastguard reported that a small open sailing boat, about a mile and a half from the lookout, was making very heavy weather.

The crew were bailing and she appeared to be in difficulties. The sea was moderate and a N.E. breeze, strong at times, was blowing. At 5.30 P.M. the No. 1 motor life-boat AbdyBeauclerk was launched. She found the open sailing boat Chance with seven people on board, and escorted her into Orford Haven.

The life-boat returned to her station at 8.15 P.M.—Rewards, £21 15s. 6d..
