Selsey, Sussex.—At about 9.45 A.M.

on the 25th August two men fishing two miles S.W. of Selsey Bill saw signals coming from the motor yacht Sonia, of LittJehampton, which was at anchor near-by. They went to her and found that she was bound to the Isle of Wight with three people on board, but was in difficulty owing to a fouled propeller. A moderate to fresh N.W.

breeze was blowing, with a rough sea.

The owner asked one of the men to go ashore and sent out a boat to tow him into port, and the other to stay with him. All boats capable of towing were at sea, and so at 10.50 A.M. the reserve motor life-boat The Brothers, which was on temporary duty at the station, was launched. She towed the Sonia to Portsmouth, and returned to her station at 5 P.M.—Property Salvage Case..
