Eastbourne, Sussex. At 7.5 on the evening of the 1st of June, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small cabin cruiser was in need of help half a mile south-west of Beachy Head. At 7.25 the life-boat Beryl Tollemache was launched in a calm sea, with a light southerly wind blowing and a flood tide. The life-boat found the cabin cruiser Hildegard of Littlehampton with a crew of two. Her engines had broken down. Two mem- bers of the life-boat crew were put aboard the Hildegard and the cabin cruiser's crew were transferred to the life-boat. The life-boat then towed the Hildegard to Eastbourne, which was reached at nine o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £6 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £10. 2s..
