Happisburgh, Norfolk. At 6.45 p.m.

on i2th June, 1965, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small boat with three people on board would capsize if her crew attempted to beach her. At 7.7 the IRB launched in a light westerly breeze and slight sea. It was high water. The IRB proceeded to the small boat which was 200 yards south of Cart Gap and took her three crew on board together with their personal effects.

After landing them the IRB brought the small boat to low water mark and returned to her station at 8.36 p.m..
