Workington, Cumberland.—At 8.10 on the night of the 5th of January, 1950, the coastguard reported the s.s. Tur- quoise, of Glasgow aground one mile north of Maryport. At 8.50 the life- boat The Brothers was launched. She stood by the steamer in a rough sea, with a westerly gale blowing, until the coastguard got a life-line on board, when the steamer's crew signalled all was well. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 1.30 the next morning. Because of the bad weather, however, it was decided to stand by the Turquoise at high water. At 11.15 the life-boat again put out, and re- mained with her for one and a half hours. She reached her station again at 2.15 that afternoon.—Rewards: 1st service, £13 8s. 6d.; 2nd service, £12 9s..
