Sea Girl

Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—On the night of the 18th June the coastguard reported that a motor yacht off the harbour was in need of help. A moderate to fresh S.W. breeze was blowing, with a fairly rough sea. The motor life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched at 10.30 P.M., and found the motor yacht Sea Girl, ofShoreham, with a crew of four, a mile and a half S.E. of the harbour. Her propeller and steering-gear had been fouled and she was out of control. The life-boat towed her into harbour, and returned to her station at 11.15 P.M.—• Property Salvage Case..
