Susan Anne

Hastings, Sussex.—At 12.20 in the afternoon of the 2nd of October, 1948, the Fairlight coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat at anchor, three and a half miles to the eastward, was sig- nalling for help. The motor life-boat Cyril and Lilian Bishop was launched at 12.38, in a moderate south-westerly breeze with a moderate sea, and found the local fishing boat Susan Anne, with a crew of three. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Hastings, arriving back at her station at 1.55.—Rewards, £34 11s. 6d..
