Eastbourne, Sussex. At 9.45 on the morning of the 13th of July, 1958, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that a small yacht was anchored in heavy seas in Pevensey Bay and her crew appeared to be in difficulties.

The honorary secretary went to the coastguard look-out at Pevensey Point, and after sighting the yacht decided to launch the life-boat Beryl Tollemache.

This was done at 11.4. There was a very rough sea, a south-south-westerly gale was blowing, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat reached the yacht Wildgoose at 11.30 and took off her crew of one. She reached her station at noon. Rewards to the crew, £7 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £14 18s..
