New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 5.10 on the evening of the 25th of August, 1951, the Port Radar Station telephoned that a yacht had broken her topmast and was in difficulties near Brockle- bank Dock. At 5.38 the life-boat Norman B. Corlett was launched.

There was a heavy sea with a moderate southerly gale blowing. She found the yacht Sirius with a crew of ten, off Canada Basin with a Mersey Docks and Harbour Board ship standing by.

At the owners request, she towed the Sirius to Birkenhead, arriving back at her station at 7.25.—Rewards £6 2s..
