Newhaven, Sussex.—At 11.0 on the night of the 8th of September, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that the sailing dinghy Kittiwake had put out on a fishing trip that afternoon, but had not returned. At 11.15 the life- boat Jane Holland, on temporary duty at the station, was launched. There was a heavy swell, with a strong north- easterly breeze blowing. A yacht reported that she had seen white flares between two and three miles west of the harbour and guided the life-boat until, with her searchlight, she found the Kittiwake between two and three miles south-east of Brighton Palace Pier. Her sails were damaged and her crew of two were burning pieces of oilskin and boxes to attract attention. The life-boat rescued them and towed the dinghy to Newhaven, reaching her station again at 2.50.— Rewards, £10 19s..
