Mary Bowers, of Chichester

JULY 25TH. - ST. HELIER, JERSEY. At 12.15 in the morning distress signals were burned by the motor yacht Mary Bowers, of Chichester, which had gone ashore on Mangeuse Rocks shortly after leaving St. Helier Harbour. She had six onboard. The signals were seen and at 12.35 the motor lifeboat Howard D. was launched in a calm sea.

The life-boat found the Mary Bowers fast on the rocks, but the tide was rising and she soon refloated while the life-boat stood by.

The life-boat escorted her into harbour and got back to her station at 3.15 that morning.
