Leprechaun

Port St. Mary, Isle of Man.—At 9.15 on the night of the 8th of April, 1952, the life-boat coxswain reported that four persons had gone to the Calf of Man in the motor boat Leprechaun during the day, and had not returned, and at 9.30 the life-boat Civil Service No. 5 left her moorings. The sea was rough, with a fresh south-easterly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the persons on the island. Their boat had broken down and her rudder was damaged. The life-boat took them on board, towed the boat to Port St.Mary and reached her station again at one o'clock next morning. The owner thanked the life-boatmen and made a gift to the Institution.—Re- wards, £9 19s. 6d..
