Fleetwood, Lancashire. — At 6.30 in the evening of the 7th of August, 1949, the harbour authorities reported a yacht on the Lighthouse Bank, one and three-quarter miles north of the life- boat station, and at 7.25 the life-boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched. A strong south-easterly breeze was blow- ing with a rough sea. The life-boat found the local yacht Helen, with a crew of six. As she was in a dangerous position the life-boat stood by her until she refloated. She then escorted her into harbour and arrived back at her station at 8.5. The owner thanked the crew and made a donation to the Insti- tution.—Rewards, £6 18s..
