Shoreham Harbour, Sussex.—At 2.58 on the afternoon of the 31st of August, 1952, a message was received from the Palace Pier, Brighton, that a yacht appeared to be in difficulties off Brighton, and at 3.12 the life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched. The sea was rough, with a moderate south-westerly gale blowing.

The life-boat found the auxiliary cutter yacht Little Genna, of Shoreham, three- quarters of a mile west of West Pier, Brighton, aground and broadside to the beach. The owner had scrambled ashore, and two men had then boarded her. The life-boat fired a line to them, pulled the yacht clear, and towed her to Shoreham Harbour, arriving at 5.55 that evening.—Pro- perty Salvage Case..
