Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—On the 26th August, while the Southern Railway pleasure steamer Southsea was on a trip round the Isle of Wight, her engine broke down and she came to anchor off Bembridge Ledge. A strong S.E. breeze was blowing, with a heavy ground swell. She was seen from shore, and the motor life-boat Langham was launched at 2.25 P.M. ; the railway steamer Sundown also put out. The life-boat stood by while the Sandown got the Southsea in tow, and accompanied the two steamers to Spithead.

She returned to her station at 4.30 P.M.
