Walton and Frinton, Essex.—At 7.30 on the morning of the 7th of November, 1952, the life-boat E.M.E.D. left Harwich for her station, after towing in the motor barge Sway. At the same time the Walton-on-the-Naze j coastguard telephoned the honorary secretary that the Cork Lightvessel had reported a motor cruiser broken down and drifting one mile south-east of the lightvessel. This news was wirelessed to the life-boat, which made for the position in a very rough sea and north- westerly gale. She found the empty motor cruiser Lady Betty and towed her to Walton River, and then put out again in response to another wireless message that a second motor cruiser was adrift. She found the Celeriter, also with nobody on board, two miles south of Medusa buoy, towed her to Walton River, and then made for her station, arriving at four o'clock.— Property Salvage Case..
