Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—At four in the afternoon of the 19th of March, 1952, the Foreland coastguard tele- phoned that a naval motor launch had run ashore at Black Rock, Whitecliff Bay, and at 4.13 the life-boat Milburn, on temporary duty at the station, was launched in a slight sea, with a light south-south-west breeze and fog. She found H.M. motor launch EC. 83.

The life-boat towed her clear, handed her over to motor launches which had been sent from Portsmouth, and re- turned to her station, arriving at 5.30 that evening.—Rewards, £7 5s..
