South wold, Suffolk. At 7.14 p.m.

on nth September, 1964, the coastguard told the honorary secretary that a small boat was flying a distress signal about three miles north of Southwold. The tide was ebbing and there was a gentle westerly breeze with a calm sea. The inshore rescue boat launched at 7.20 and took on board the three people, and their boat was taken in tow. The shore-boat Mayflower later took over the tow and the inshore rescue boat returned to her station at 8.17..
