Walton and Frinton, Essex.—At 11.27 on the morning of the 18th of June, 1953, the Walton-on-the-Naze coast- guard rang up to say that the North Foreland radio station had passed on a message from the motor vessel Bonnie Lass, of Shoreham. The Bonnie Lass, a converted fishing boat with a crew of four, had wirelessed that she had broken down and needed a tow five miles east of the Sunk light- vessel. The new Flamborough life- boat, on passage to her station, was at South Knock and heard the message on her radio telephone. She made for the position, and at 11.40 the Walton and Frinton life-boat E.M.E.D. put to sea in a slight swell with a moderate south-south-west breeze. She search- ed for nearly three hours, found the Bonnie Lass eight miles east of the light-vessel, and towed her to Harwich, arriving at 6.15. She then returned to her station, which she reached again at 9.30. The life-boat bound for Flam- borough was not needed and went on her way.—Property Salvage Case..
