Eve

Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. — At 11.23 in the morning of the 14th of October, 1951, pilots reported that a yacht with a body in tow was off Shoreham, and needed help. At 11.28 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched in calm weather.

She found the yacht Eve, which had picked up the body of a woman aboutthree miles south-south-east of Shore- ham Harbour, took the body on board and signalled for an ambulance to meet her at the lock gates. There she landed the body and got back to her station at 11.52. — Rewards, £6 15s..
