NOVEMBER 22ND. - NEWHAVEN, SUSSEX. At 7.5 in the evening the naval authorities asked for the services of the lifeboat for a patrol boat which was in difficulties near the mouth of the harbour and the motor life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott was launched at 7.30 P.M. A strong southerly wind was blowing and the sea was choppy.

The life-boat found that the vessel was the patrol boat Joseph, of Dover, with a crew of twelve on board. She had run aground in the sight of the breakwater. The strong tide made the work difficult, but the life-boat succeeded in getting the boat afloat, and escorted her into harbour. She returned to her station at 11.45 P.M. The life-boat crew were thanked by the naval officer-in-charge.
