A Boat

APRIL 26TH. - SHOREHAM HARBOUR, SUSSEX. At 2.55 in the morning a message came from the coastguard that a boat was adrift west of Worthing pier, and that no reply had been received to signals. No boats or men were available at Worthing, and at 3.35 the motor life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched in a light northeasterly breeze and a calm sea. She picked up the drifting boat about a mile south-west of Worthing pier, with no one on board and full of water. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.35. - Rewards, £10 2s..
