Newhaven, Sussex. At 12.40, early on the morning of the 25th of July, 1960, the coastguard informed the hon- orary secretary that a vessel was firing red flares a quarter of a mile off Birling Gap. The life-boat Kathleen Mary was launched at one o'clock in a rough sea and a fresh south-westerly breeze with rain squalls. It was high water. The life-boat came up with the yacht Lady Karem, which had a crew of three. She put one man on board and escorted the yacht, whose compass was out of order, to harbour. The life-boat arrived back at her station at three o'clock.

Rewards to the crew, £8 8s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 14s..
