Newhaven, Sussex.—At 12.30 in the afternoon of the 10th of August, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that a motor boat was in distress and in danger of •drifting ashore three-quarters of a mile west-south-west of Seaford and a half- mile off Tidemills. The life-boat Jane Holland, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 12.34, in a moderate, south-westerly breeze and a slight sea. She found the local motor boat White Wave, with a fishing party •of five on board. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to harbour and arrived back at her station at 1.30.—Rewards, £7 12s. 6d.
