Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—At 12.25 in the afternoon of the 27th of January, 1948, the coastguard reported that anxiety was felt for the. safety of a local fishing boat which had not been seen since 9 o'clock that morning. The wind was increasing, and at 12.45 the No. 1 motor life-boat Abdy Beauclerk was launched in a fresh south-easterly breeze, with a slight sea. She found the fishing boat, escorted her to the shore, and arrived back at her station at 2.30.
