Selsey, Sussex.—At one o'clock on the afternoon of May 18th, 1955, the coast- guard rang up to say that a sailing boat had capsized three and a half miles south of Thorney Island, and that a helicopter was on its way to her. About 1.15 a bomber reported that the boat was off West Wittering, and at 1.30 the life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched. The sea was rough, a fresh south-westerly breeze was blowing, and it was one hour be- fore high water. The helicopter re- ported that no one was in the boat, which was the Fantome. of Hayling Island. The life-boat found her at the mouth of Chichester Harbour, and towed her to Selsey, arriving at 5.45.
