Weymouth, Dorset. At 11.39 on the morning of the 27th of January, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the coaster Tjoba of Groningen was making heavy weather two miles west of Portland Bill. When the life-boat Frank Spiller Locke put out at 11.55 there was a southerly gale and a very rough sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat reached the coaster at 1.15 and escorted her to Weymouth harbour. She then returned to her station arriving at 2.30..
