JUNE 18TH. - NEWHAVEN, SUSSEX.

During the morning four men were cut off by the tide under the Seven Sisters Cliffs, near Seaford. One of them swam to Cuckmere.

There the police informed the Newhaven coastguard who passed the news to the lifeboat station. A fresh S.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The motor life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott was launched at 12.13 P.M. and with a small boat in tow she went to Cuckmere Haven. The men were got into the small boat and then taken on board the life-boat, which landed them safely at Newhaven. The life-boat returned to her station at 2.15 P.M. - Rewards, £6 8s.
