MARCH 10TH. - HASTINGS, SUSSEX. At 4.30 in the afternoon the Fairlight coastguard telephoned that all the fishing boats had returned except the Lady Violet, which appeared to be in difficulties to the southsouth- east, about one and a quarter miles off shore. A few minutes later a signal was made by the fishing boat, that her engine had broken down, and the motor life-boat Cyril and Lilian Bishop was launched at 5.7. A light north-east wind was blowing and the sea was calm, but owing to fog it was not until 6.15 that the life-boat found the fishing boat three miles south-east of Hastings. Motor launches had also been sent out from Dover to her help. She had a crew of two. The life-boat towed her to a safe position and returned to her station at 7.17 that evening.
