ENGINE-ROOM FLOODED Selsey, Sussex.—At 2.35 in the after- noon of the 20th of April, 1947, the coastguard reported a boat in distress between the eastern entrance to Chichester Harbour and Wittering Beach. A moderate south-westerly breeze was blowing and there was a swell. The motor life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched at three o'clock and found an ex-naval picket boat at the east side of the harbour bar. She had a crew of three and was on passage to Liverpool. Heavy seas had flooded her engine-room and stopped the engine, and the crew had been about to swim for the shore, although one of them was injured. The life-boat rescued the three men, and returned to her station, arriving at 4.15.—• Rewards, £12 17s..
