S.S. Runnelstone
JANUARY 23RD. - SELSEY, SUSSEX. At 8.45 in the morning the coastguard reported a vessel ashore. A moderate south-east wind was blowing, with a moderate sea and snow squalls. The motor life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched at 9.5 and at 9.45 found the S.S. Runnelstone ashore one mile west of Selsey coastguard station. She stood by until, at 11.35, a wireless message from Niton told her that the master of the Runnelstone would not need her help. She returned to her station, arriving at 12.45 that afternoon.
The steamer got off unaided two days later.
