JULY 27TH. - SELSEY, SUSSEX. At 4.6 in the afternoon the Selsey coastguard reported an aeroplane down in the sea a mile south of Bognor. There was a light northwest breeze and the sea was smooth. At 4.25 the motor life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched and searched, but found nothing. She was recalled by wireless and on her way back was hailed by a fishing boat when two and a half miles south of Bognor Pier. The boat’s engines had broken down.

The life-boat towed her to Bognor, and returned to her station at 7.30 that evening.
