AUGUST 31ST. - DUNGENESS, KENT. At 5.55 in the evening the Sandgate coastguard telephoned that the naval and military authorities requested the services of the lifeboat to take out a relief crew and provisions to one of the caissons of concrete, named Phoenixes, out of which was built the breakwater at Arromanches in Normandy to make a port for the invasion of France which began on the sixth of June, 1944. She was Phoenix 121 and was anchored five miles north-east-by-north of Dungeness. Her crew were without food or water. A moderate westerly gale was blowing, with a rough sea.

The motor life-boat Charles Cooper Henderson was launched at 6.45, put the men and provisions on board and returned at 8.45 with the old crew. - Rewards, £17 16s. 3d.
