Hastings, Sussex.—About 12.40 on the afternoon of the 24th of August, 1956, it was reported that a Hastings fishing boat Warrior was in difficulties off Fairlight. The coastguard con- firmed the information, and the life- boat M.T.C. was launched at 12.46.

There was a slight sea, a fresh westerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the Warrior, with a crew of two, half a mile off Fairlight and found she had engine trouble. She towed her to Hastings and arrived back at her station at 1.35.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £19..
