New Brighton, Cheshire.—During the evening of the llth November the owner of the local motor fishing boat lone reported that his boat had gone out early in the morning in company with several other boats, but had not returned with them. She was carrying a crew of three. A moderate to strong S.E. gale was blowing, with a rough and increasing sea, and visibility was poor, owing to heavy rain. The No. 2 motor life-boat William and Kate Johnston put out at 7.51 P.M., and found the lone near R.I bell-buoy in Rock Channel.

Her engine had broken down, her rigging carried away, and she was shipping heavy seas. The life-boat towed her back to New Brighton, and returned to her station at 10.15 P.M.— Rewards, £13 7s. 6d..
