Yarmouth, Isle of Wight—At 6.16 P.M. on the llth May, 1939, a message was received from the coastguard at Cliff End that a motor launch off Barton-on-Sea had broken down, and that its occupants were waving clothing to attract attention. As the sea was smooth, the weather fine, and thelaunch near to the shore it was decided to wait and see whether she could get in herself or whether some other boat would go to her help. At 7.3 P.M. a further message was received that the launch was still in difficulties, and the motor life-boat S.G.E. was launched at 7.12 P.M. She found the launch, with two men on board, off Becton Cliffs, towed her in, and returned to her station at 9.10 P.M.—Rewards, £7 16s..
