Workington, Cumberland. — At 7.50 in the evening of the 21st of June, 1952, a report was received through the coastguard that a boat was in dis- tress about three miles north-east of Whitehaven, and at 8.15 the life-boat N.T. was launched. The sea was rough, with a west-south-west breeze blowing. The life-boat found the small fishing boat Elsie, of Whitehaven, with only one man on board. Her engine had failed. The life-boat res- cued the man and took his boat in tow, but she sank and was lost. The life-boat landed the rescued man at Workington at 10.25. — Rewards, £9 Is..
