CABIN CRUISER SANK Weymouth, Dorset. At 3.40 p.m. on xyth May, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a cabin cruiser was in distress 5! miles north-west of Portland Bill. The life-boat Frank Spiller Locke left at 3.50 in a light to moderate east-south-easterly wind and a rough sea.

The tide was ebbing. The Life-boat sighted the cabin cruiser 200 yards away, apparently on fire, but before she could be reached the Lorerelie sank with two men on board. The men, one of whom had burns on his wrists, were rescued and the life-boat returned at 7.15..
