AUGUST 25TH. - HASTINGS, SUSSEX.

At 1.32 A.M. the coastguard reported an aeroplane down in the sea. The weather was calm. The motor life-boat Cyril and Lilian Philpott was launched at 2 A.M. When she was off Ecclesbourne Glen, at 3.20 A.M., her engine was stopped so that her crew might listen and they heard a cry. It came from a German airman, the only survivor of a machine which had been burnt out. He was picked up and landed at Hastings at 3.45 A.M., where he was handed over to the military authorities. - Rewards, £30 2s. 6d.
