Weymouth, Dorset - At 3.15 p.m. on 14th October, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a seabat had capsized five to six hundred yards off the Clock tower.

The boy on board was unable to right her. The life-boat Frank Spiller Locke slipped her moorings at 3.26 in a west south westerly gale and a choppy sea. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat proceeded and found the boy on top of the upturned seabat which was rapidly drifting out to sea.

The boy and the seabat were taken on board the life-boat and brought to the harbour where the boy was given a hot drink. The life-boat returned to her station at 3.48..
