Anzac

Shorebam Harbour, Sussex.—At 8.10 on the night of the llth of November, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat was flashing S.O.S. signals.

Fifteen minutes later the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched.

A westerly breeze was blowing, with a moderately heavy sea. Half a mile east-south-east of the harbour, the life-boat found the Igcal motor fishing boat Anzac, with a crew of two, dis- abled by an engine breakdown, and took her in tow, bringing her into har- bour at 9.15.—Rewards, £9 Ss..
