A Sailing Dinghy (1)
Newhaven, Sussex.—At 6.20 on the evening of the 9th of August, 1953, the coastguard telephoned to say that a sailing dinghy had capsized off Oving- dean, and that her crew of two were clinging to her. At 6.35 the life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott was launched in a calm sea with a light south-easterlv breeze blowing. Before the life-boat reached the dinghy a speedboat from Brighton had picked up the dinghy's crew. The life-boat found the dinghy a mile off Ovingdean, towed it to Rottingdean and returned to her station, arriving at 8.10.—Rewards.
