GUIDED TO BOAT BY PARAFFIN FLARES Hastings, Sussex. At 8.35 on the evening of the 6th October, 1962, two members of the local angling club reported that the motor boat Mahaba was overdue. There was a light northeast breeze with a smooth sea. At 8.55 the life-boat M.T.C. was launched on the ebbing tide. She put out in the direction indicated by the anglers and found a motor boat, which was the Lady Molly, about two miles south-east of Fairlight coastguard station. Her owner had recently changed the boat's name. The coxswain had been helped in rinding the Lady Molly by the burning of paraffin flares. The engines of the Lady Molly had broken down, and the life-boat took her in tow and brought her to Hastings. The life-boat reached her station at 9.58..
