SECOND LAUNCH TO FISHING BOAT IN SAME YEAR Plymouth, Devon. At 10.15 on the night of the 17th June, 1962, the coastguard at Rame Head told the honorary secretary a boat was under observation about a quarter of a mile south-west of the look-out, as it was not clear whether the crew of the boat were fishing or whether the boat had broken down. The coastguard undertook to report again when more was known.

At 10.47 the coastguard stated that the boat's crew had been spoken to by loud hailer, and that it was now known that her engines had broken down and she was drifting slowly west. She was the fishing boat June-Lippet of Plymouth with three people on board.

The life-boat Lloyd's, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings at 11.5 in a gentle east-south-easterly wind and a slight sea. It was two hours before low water. The life-boat took the June-Lippet in tow to Millbay docks, and after berthing her alongside the Princess Royal pier at 12.55 the lifeboat returned to her moorings, arriving at 1.12. This was the second time the Plymouth life-boat had put out to the help of the June-Lippet in 1962.

As reported in the June number of the Life-boat on page 259 she escorted her into Plymouth Sound in a near gale on the 15th January..
