A Fishing Boat (1)

Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—At 3.33 in the afternoon of the 23rd of April, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that a local fishing boat, with a crew of two, had capsized one mile south of Sizewell, and at 3.50 the No. 1 life-boat, Abdy Beauclerk, was launched. A light west- south-west breeze was blowing with a slight swell. Another fishing boat had also put out. She rescued the two men, and the life-boat brought the capsized boat ashore at 4.40.—Re- wards, £32 18*. 6d..
