Weymouth, Dorset - At 3.5 a.m. on 6th September, 1968, the coastguard reported that red flares had been seen in Bowleaze cove. Twenty minutes later the life-boat Frank Spiller Locke was launched. It was low water. She came up with the cabin cruiser Kantara, with four people on board, ashore at Preston beach. The lifeboat was unable to close the cruiser and the boarding boat was used to get a line on board. The cruiser was then pulled clear and taken intow to Weymouth. The life-boat returned to her station at 5 o'clock..
