Rally, of Selsey

Selsey, Sussex.—On the morning of the 23rd July the coastguard reported that a fishing boat was in distress about half a mile N.W. of Selsey Bill. A strong S. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched at 10.45 A.M., and found the boat to be the Rally, of Selsey, with one man on board. The Rally was full of water, and the man was exhausted. The lifeboat towed her to safety, and returned to her station at 11.49 A.M.—Rewards, £5 17s. 6d..
