Newhaven, Sussex.—At 4.12 on the afternoon of the 24th of June, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that the Seaford police had reported that four people were cut off by the tide between Splash Point, Seaford, and Cuckmere Haven. At 4.24 the life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott was launched, taking a rowing boat with her. The sea was moderate, a light west-south- west breeze was blowing, and the tide was five hours flood. The life-boat found the four people east of Splash Point, and the rowing boat was taken inshore. The four people were rescued and transferred to the life- boat, which took them to Newhaven, arriving at 6.15.—Rewards, £7 Is..
