At 8.15 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that a motor boat was in distress about four miles south of the life-boat station.

The motor life-boat Jane Holland was launched at 8.40. A strong north-easterly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. She found the Shoreham fishing boat Number One, with two on board. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to Newhaven and arrived back at her station at 2.15 that afternoon. - Rewards, £16 17s.
