MARCH 2ND. - SHOREHAM HARBOUR, SUSSEX. At 1.45 in the afternoon the coastguard reported information received from Lancing that a small boat had been seen about three miles to the south-south-west.

The motor life-boat Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn was launched at 2.20 in a moderate north-westerly wind, with a moderate, but increasing, sea. She found an eight-feet flatbottomed punt, without oars, and three boys lying in the bottom, five miles south-southwest of Lancing. She took the boys on board, made them as comfortable as possible and, with their boat in tow, arrived back at 3.20. The boys were sent home by ambulance.
