MOTOR YACHT'S ENGINES FAILED Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—At 8.25 in the evening of the 6th of July, 1947, the Kingston-on-Sea coastguard tele- phoned information, received by the Worthing police from a resident, that he had seen a motor yacht, making a distress signal, by flying her ensign upside down, four miles south-south- east of Worthing pier. She was also seen to fire a rocket, and at 8.45 the motor life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched, in a fresh south- westerly breeze, with a moderate sea.

She found the motor yacht Loyang, with a crew of four, with her engines broken down. The life-boat towed her to Shoreham Harbour, arriving at 10.30.—Property Salvage Case..
