Newhaven, Sussex.—At 9 o'clock in the evening of the 1st of August, 1948, the coastguard reported a motor vessel broken down off Saltdean, and the motor life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott was launched at 9.5 in calm weather.

She found the Sunbeam, of Newhaven, with seven persons on board, nearly on the rocks. The life-boat towed her into harbour and reached her station again at 10.25.—Rewards, £7 16s..
