Hastings, Sussex. — At 6.32 in the evening of the 31st of July, 1949, the Fairlight coastguard telephoned infor- mation received from St. Leonards that a dinghy was drifting between the St.

Leonards Pier and Bo Peep, and at 6.35 the life-boat Cyril and Lilian Bishop was launched. A moderate south-westerly breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The life-boat found the dinghy Peggy one mile off the pier. She was damaged, but there was no one on board. The life-boat towed her to Hastings, reaching her station again at 7.21. — Rewards, £33 4s. 6d..
