Hastings, Sussex.—On the afternoon of the 20th of November, 1955, anxiety was felt for the safety of an angling party, which had put off earlier in the day, and at 5.16 the life-boat M.T.C. was launched. The sea was slight, there was a light north- westerly breeze, and the tide was half ebb. The anglers' boat was towed in by a fishing boat, and the life-boat, not being needed, was recalled to her station. But at 6.24 flares were seen by a boat from a fishing boat about two and a half miles south of Fair- light. This news was passed to the life-boat, and she at once made for the position. She found that the fishing boat Channel Tripper, which had a crew of two, had fouled her propeller. The life-boat towed her to Hastings, arriving at 8.20.—Rewards to the crew, £12 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £26 10s..
