On Wednesday, July 20, Shoreham ILB went to the help of a dinghy capsized off Shoreham Pier in near gale force winds and a rough sea. The three students rescued wrote to the crew the next day, sending a bottle of wine 'as a token of how very much we appreciated your magnificent service'. Two months later, J. C. Harrison, honorary secretary of Shoreham lifeboat station, received a cheque for £44 from Miss Constance Styles of Hove; it was the result of a coffee evening inspired by witnessing this rescue.
