FEBRUARY 3RD. - SELSEY, SUSSEX.

The life-boat coxswain and others were at the life-boat station when, at 3.40 in the afternoon, they saw a Typhoon aeroplane, flying low, crash in the sea. A moderate southwest wind was blowing, with a slight sea.

They at once launched the reserve motor life-boat Hearts of Oak, on temporary duty at the station, and within ten minutes were away. Three-quarters of a mile south of the life-boat station they found an airman in his dinghy, and had rescued him twenty minutes after seeing the accident. The aeroplane had sunk. The airman was suffering from shock and cold and his head was cut. The life-boat was back at her station and landed the airman at 4.15. - Rewards, £7 3s..
