Shoreham Harbour, Sussex. At 9.56 on the evening of 22nd April, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a message had been received from the Dutch steamer Deo Gloria that she had the disabled yacht Aquilla in tow with two occupants on board. The Deo Gloria was about twenty-five miles south-east of St. Catherine's and had asked to be met outside Shoreham har- bour and relieved of the tow. There was a south-south-west breeze and the sea was choppy. At 11.32 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched on a flooding tide, and met the Deo Gloria at the appointed place. The tow was transferred to the life-boat by two of the crew. The Aquilla was then towed to a berth in Shoreham harbour and the life-boat arrived at her station at 2.32 on the following morning..
