JULY 30TH. - BEMBRIDGE, ISLE OF WIGHT. At 4.52 in the afternoon the Foreland coastguard telephoned that Horse Sand Fort had reported a motor boat flying a flag and drifting eastwards. The motor life-boat Jesse Lumb was launched at 5.10 in a strong west-south-westerly breeze, with a choppy sea. She found the motor fishing boat Tarka, of Fareham, with two on board, between Horse Sand Fort and the Warner Light-vessel.

She was bound for Salcombe. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her into Bembridge at 6.20. - Rewards, £5 15s..
