AUGUST 19TH. - ALDEBURGH,. SUFFOLK.

During the evening a British pilot was seen to bale out from his aeroplane some three miles south of Orfordness. A N.W.breeze was blowing, with a heavy swell. The No. 2 motor life-boat Lucy Lavers was launched at 7.10 P.M. She picked up the pilot, unconscious. Life-boatmen and a coastguard, who was aboard as an armed guard, used artificial respiration, but were unable to revive him. The life-boat returned at 9 P.M. Dr. Nora Acheson, the only doctor in the town, also put off in a motor boat to the pilot’s help. - Rewards, £21 11s. 6d..
