CREW AND POODLES RESCUED Swanage, Dorset. At 7.51 p.m. on 7th September, 1965, red flares had been reported to have been seen off Old Harry rocks. There was a moderate south-westerly breeze with a rough sea.

It was one hour after high water. The life-boat R.L.P. launched at 8.9 and soon came up with the motor cruiser Janet, whose propeller had fouled a lobster pot line. The cruiser which had a crew of three and two poodles on board was taken in tow and placed on moorings at Swanage. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 9.45 p.m..
