JUNE 26TH. - WELLS, NORFOLK.

Shortly after 9 in the morning the R.A.F. reported, through the coastguard, that an aeroplane had crashed in the sea, and the motor life-boat Royal Silver Jubilee l910- 1935 was launched at 9.45 A.M. A light westerly breeze was blowing, and the sea was smooth. About fives miles E.N.E. of the boat-house the life-boat found a rubber balloon, but though she made a thorough search she found nothing else, and returned to her station at 12.20 P.M. While she was out she saw an object, which might have been a parachute, and sent a motor boat after it, but the boat could not overtake it, it was being so rapidly carried out to sea.- Rewards, £8 9s. 5d.
