TOW FOR BOAT BECALMED Weymouth, Dorset. At 1.40 early on the morning of the 5th August, 1962, the police informed the honorary secretary that a sailing boat with a boy and girl on board was overdue, and at two o'clock the life-boat Frank Spiller Locke put to sea in a light breeze, a slight sea and an ebbing tide. After searching for some time she found the sailing boat Hilda Kate off the harbour entrance.

The boat had been becalmed while returning from a trip to Lulworth. The life-boat towed her into the harbour and arrived back at her station at 2.15, when the boy and the girl were given hot drinks..
