SEPTEMBER 30TH. - SKEGNESS, LINCOLNSHIRE. A British aeroplane was reported at 9.15 PM. to have fallen into the sea off Hunstanton, but though the life-boat cruised for 50 miles, she saw nothing.

About midnight, however, she found herself in the middle of a minefield. It was dead low water and the mines were plainly visible.

The coxswain got her safely out and then anchored until dawn. - Rewards, £26 6s. 9d.
