The Owers Lightship

NOVEMBER 9TH. - SELSEY, SUSSEX. At 1.45 in the afternoon the coastguard passed on a message from Owers Lightship asking the life-boat to come out to the lightship and take a sick man ashore. A strong northerly breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Canadian Pacific was launched at 2.8, with a doctor on board. She took off the sick man from the lightship and returned at 4.45 to her station, where an ambulance was waiting. - Rewards, £11 13s. 6d..
