AUGUST 25TH. - EASTBOURNE, SUSSEX.

At 9.42 at night the coastguard reported a message from the Eastbourne Angling Club that one of their boats, the motor boat E v e , was overdue and that another motor boat had been out, but had failed to find her. A light westerly breeze was blowing and the sea was slight. The life-boat crew stood by, and when the missing boat had not returned at 11.30 the motor life-boat Jane Holland was launched. She found the Eve four miles east of the life-boat station. Her engine had broken down and her crew of two were exhausted. The lifeboatmen gave them rum and the life-boat took the Eve in tow and arrived back at her station at 12.30 next morning. - Rewards, £19 4s..
