Dungeness, Kent. At 3.10 on the afternoon of the 14th August, 1961, the coxswain's wife told the honorary secretary that she had seen a small boat burning a red flare about three miles south-east of the life-boat station. At 3.20 the life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at high water in a moderate westerly breeze and a choppy sea. She found the motor cruiser Lamonette, which had a crew of three, leaking badly. She took her in tow to Rye Harbour, where the motor cruiser was secured. The life-boat reached her station at 7.15..
