Continued from page 95 The Mystery Lifeboat...

... the photographs are of Lynmouth, North Devon.

I think they must have been taken about 1925-26. Asa youngster I went with my parents for a week every Whitsuntide and again in September to Lynmouth and I have seen the lifeboat launched on several occasions though never in an emergency.

It was placed as in the first picture and decked overall on Lifeboat Day and later launched and the crew row out in the bay.

The second picture shows Countisbury Foreland in the background.

- I enclose a snap of Lifeboat Day which may be of interest, taken in 1926 I think! Mrs Evelyn Whitfield, Winchester, Hants..
