Shoreham Harbour, and Worthing, Sussex.

—On the afternoon of the 30th May, 1939, a sailing boat, with a crew of two, father and son, capsized about two miles off Goring. A moderate N.E. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea.

At the request of the Worthing Beach Inspector a motor fishing boat put out, rescued the two men and landed them. The Shoreham motor life-boat Rosa Wood and Phyllis Lunn, had also been summoned and put out at 3.5 P.M. A speed-boat put out from Shoreham to tell her that the men had been rescued.

Another motor boat, from Ferring, had also put out with two men on board. She picked up the derelict boat and took her in tow, receiving help from the life-boat which returned to her station at 6.5 P.M.—Rewards, Life-boat, £5 2s. 6d.; Shoreboats, a Letter of Thanks and £1 5s., together with 5s. for fuel..
