Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. At 2.46 on the afternoon of the 23rd of May, 1959, the coastguard told the motor mechanic that a message had been received from a resident at Hove that the crew of a small boat about two miles off the King Alfred swimming- baths at Hove were waving a pair of trousers to attract attention. At 2.48 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Limn was launched in a moderate sea, with a fresh north-easterly wind blowing and an ebb tide. She found the out- board motor boat Binty of Brighton drifting out to sea. The Binty's crew of two were transferred to the life-boat, which then took her in tow to Shoreham, arriving at 5.10. Rewards to the crew, £6 ; rewards to helpers on shore, £2 8s..
