JULY 2ND. - SHOREHAM HARBOUR, SUSSEX. At 11.15 P.M. a message was received from the coastguard that a vessel was on fire about five miles south-west of Shoreham. A fresh westerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. At 11.25 P.M. the motor life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched and found that two patrol yachts had picked up three survivors from the motor yacht Pappillon, of Shoreham, which was on fire. An attempt was made to transfer the survivors from the patrol vessels to the life-boat, but it was found impossible in the rough sea. One of the patrol vessels then went, to Littlehampton with two of the survivors on board, and the second, Montigo Bay, asked the life-boat to escort her into Shoreham Harbour. Enemy aircraft appeared overhead shortly after the life-boat left the blazing wreck, and dropped bombs near it. The life-boat wirelessed for permission to enter the harbour, and put a member of her crew aboard the Montigo Bay to pilot her in. The third survivor from the yacht was then taken to hospital. The lifeboat returned to her station at 1 A. M . - Rewards, £9.
