The No. 2 motor life-boat William and Kate John- ston put out at 11.15 A.M. on the 17th November as it had been reported that a boat was in difficulties abreast of Leasowe Castle. A very strong N.E.

breeze was blowing, with a rough sea and heavy rain. The life-boat found the boat Pamelia June, of Liverpool, at anchor in a dangerous position in Old Rock Channel. Her engine had broken down, and her sails had carried away.

The life-boat took off two of the crew of four, leaving two men to steer, and towed the boat to a safe anchorage at New Brighton. She returned to her station at 1.45 P.M.—Rewards, £6 18*..
