Selsey, Sussex. — During the after- noon of the 4th of August, 1952, a motor launch anchored about half a mile west-south-west of Selsey Bill, and the life-boat's assistant motor mechanic put out to her in his own boat. He learnt that she was the Lady Muriel, of Littlehampton, and that both her engines had broken down. She had a crew of six, but as they were in no immediate danger, it was arranged that they would signal if they needed help. Watch was kept on her all day, and at 8.30 that even- ing she hoisted a distress signal. At 8.50 the life-boat Canadian Pacific left her moorings, accompanied by the honorary secretary, Mr. E. J. M. Jones, in a moderate sea with a light souther- ly breeze. The Lady Muriel was still broken down, and her anchor cable had parted. A life-boatman boarded her and secured a tow rope, and the life-boat towed her to an anchorage at Hayling Island, reaching her station again at 12.45 the next morning.— Rewards, £14 17s..
