Tina

Selsey, Sussex.—At 8.50 on the even- ing of the 24th of September, 1957, a message was received that the yacht Tina, with a crew of four, had engine trouble three and a half miles south- south-west of Littlehampton. The life-boat Canadian Pacific put out at 9.5 in a choppy sea. There was a moderate south-easterly breeze blow- ing and the tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the yacht and took her in tow to Littlehampton. She then returned to her station and reached her moorings at five o'clock on the morning of the 25th. The owners made a gift to the crew.— Rewards to the crew, £17125.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7..
