Noreg

Ramsey, Isle of Man.—On the morn- ing of the 5th of February, 1948, the Swedish steamer Noreg, of Gothenburg, bound with ore from Spain to Silloth, was at anchor one and a half miles east-north-east of Ramsey. She sig- nalled that she was in urgent' need of stores, and her captain came ashore at daybreak,. A strong south-south-west •wind got up, with a heavy sea and rain, and the boat could not return. A gale warning had been received, and the captain was very anxious to get back to his ship, so at 12.10 in the after- noon the motor life-boat Lady Harrison was launched, took the captain and his stores out to the steamer, and returned to her station again at 1.35.—Rewards, £16 12s..
