(Eeceivod Juno 30, G. 5 p.m.) British Wireless. HUGBY, Juno 29.
Miss England 11., tho speed-boat in which Sir Henry Segrave lost his life after breaking the world's record on Juno 13, was raised to the surface of Lako Windermere yesterday and towed close to the shore. Between two barges it was taken in tow to a dock at Bowness Bay where it will be examined by experts. When the water was pumped out of tho bftat the first thing found by Mr. Willcocks, the engineer who survived the disaster, was Sir Henry's stop-watch, which was lying at the bottom of the cockpit. Part of the step, or bilge keel at the 6tern was found to have been torn away. Tho steering column and propeller .were intact. Since the day of the tragedy the boat had been resting on tho bottom of tho lako beneath 192 ft. of water on a level keel.
