JULY 10TH. - SHOREHAM HARBOUR, SUSSEX. At 1.55 in the afternoon a message was received from the coastguard that a landing craft had broken down six miles south-south west of Shoreham Harbour.

A strong south-west wind was blowing, with a heavy swell. A second message said that the landing craft was going on her way.

After consultation with the naval authorities the life-boat honorary secretary decided to send out the motor life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn, and she left at 3.14. She found the landing craft and remained with her till a tug came and towed her into harbour at 5.45. - Rewards, £4 8s. 6d.
