AUGUST 11TH. - EASTBOURNE, SUSSEX. At 5.24 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that an aeroplane had come down in Pevensey Bay and asked that the life-boat crew should stand by. A light westerly wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. Twenty minutes after the first message the life-boat was asked to go to the aeroplane, which was a quarter of a mile off Pevensey Sluice. The motor life-boat Jane Holland was launched at 6.5 A.M. She picked up a rubber dinghy and some of the crew of the aeroplane were rescued by an R.A.F. launch. The life-boat returned to her station at 8.10 A.M. - Rewards, £8 14s..
