SEPTEMBER 3RD. - NEWHAVEN, SUSSEX.

At 3 P.M. the naval authorities asked for the life-boat to be launched as lifting craft No. 17 had broken loose from moorings at the mouth of the harbour, where she was being used on salvage work. The sea was rough, with a strong S.W. wind. The motor life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott was launched at 3.15 P.M. and got a rope from the lifting craft to a tug, which towed her into harbour, with the life-boat standing by. The life-boat returned to her station at 5 P.M.- Rewards, £5 19s..
