The life-boat R.L.P. was launched at 1.45 in a moderate northnorth- westerly breeze and a choppy sea.

The tide was two hours after high water.

The man and boy were rescued and the life-boat took the dinghy Sea Hawk, which had engine trouble, in tow. At 2.35 p.m. the life-boat returned to her station..
