Newhaven, Sussex. At 5.30 on the evening of the 6th of June, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary sec-retary that a sailing barge was drifting close inshore in Seaford Bay. The life- boat Kathleen Mary was launched at 5.37 in a fresh south-westerly breeze and a calm sea. It was two hours after low water. When the life-boat reached the position, she found that the fishing boat Wave Queen had a line aboard the barge Ethel Ada, which had a crew of four, and was holding her off the shore. With the help of the life-boat the barge was successfully towed to harbour. The life-boat arrived back at her station at seven o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 13s..
