SEPTEMBER 2ND. - MARGATE, KENT.

During the afternoon the coastguard reported that a party of bathers off Nayland Rock had got into difficulties. A fresh easterly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. As it was dead low water no boats were afloat. The motor life-boat The Brothers, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 4.7. She saw a boy in the water. Before she could reach him he sank, but came to the surface again, and was rescued. After making a search without finding any one else the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 5.22.

Four bodies were found later by searchers.
