Rally

Selsey, Sussex.—The motor life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched at 2 P.M.

on the 20th April, as the coastguard had telephoned that two fishing boats were at sea. A south gale was blowing, with a choppy sea. One boat came in as the life-boat was being launched, and the life-boat found the other, the Rally, one mile N.W. of Selsey Bill. She was among the surf, and her crew of two were in great danger. The men were rescued, and their boat was towed back to land. The life-boat returned to her station at 4.5 P.M.—Rewards, £5 17s. 6d..
