Jill

New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 7.55 in the evening of the 9th of June, 1948, news came that a fishing boat was on the revetment near C.7 black buoy, with the tide ebbing, and was in some danger. At 8.10 the No. 2 motor life- boat Edmund and Mary Robinson was launched in a moderate easterly breeze with a choppy sea. She found that the fishing boat was the Jill of Liver- pool, with two men on board. The men had been shrimping, but their nets had fouled and their boat had been carried on to the revetment by the tide. The life-boat towed her in, arriving back at her station at 9.50.— Rewards, £5 15s..
