The lifeboat went out at five
o'clock this morning in spite of
heavy seas in response to a call for
help from the small steamer Alice,
of Riga. which was in distress near
Dungeness.

all of whom were lost.
Identify Bodies
Crowds on the strand including
many grief-stricken mothers. wives
and sisters of the drowned crew
rushed along the beach when they
saw in what direction the tide was
running and a tragic scene was en-
acted as the great breakers brought
in the bodies Of the gallant lifeboat
men who had gone out in the face
of death to succor others.
Brokenhearted relatives identified
the bodies as they were washed
ashore with each big wave. Finally
the lifeboat itself was washed In and
two more bodies were found under
meath 1t.
There was hardly a person in the
little village Of Rye who had not
lost a relative.
