On the night of the 15th October the fishing boat NoSl, of Lancaster, bound with a crew of five for Fleetwood, got into diffi- culties in heavy weather. A strong S.W. breeze was blowing,, with a rough and confused sea. The NoBl got out of control, and after drifting up the Pilling Sands for a mile, ran ashore on the east side of Wyre Channel. She sent up distress rockets and flares, and the motor life-boat Frederick H. Pilley was launched to her help at 11.15 P.M.

The life-boat found her being swept fore and aft by heavy seas, and in great danger. With some difficulty she res- cued the crew, and returned to her station at midnight, but on account of the bad conditions, could not be rehoused until 8 A.M. on the 16th. A donation was received in appreciation of the life-boat's help. — Rewards, £17 1*. 6d..
