Douglas, Isle of Man.—At 12.30 in the morning, on the 30th of April, 1950, the Ramsey coastguard telephoned that flares had been seen off Onchan Head.

At 12.45 the life-boat Millie Walton was launched in a thick fog with a heavy ground swell and a fresh south-easterly breeze. She found the steam trawler Mary Heeley, of Lowestoft, fast on a submerged rock, with a crew of ten.

She rescued the men and returned to her station arriving at 2.45.—Rewards, £10 2s. ..
