New Brighton, Cheshire. — On the morning of the 10th of March, 1952, the fishing boat Speedwell, with the life-boat's second coxswain and a life- boatman on board, had gone out.

On the following morning, as she had not returned, the life-boat Norman B.

Corlett left her moorings at 8.15. The sea was smooth, the south-westerly breeze light, but there was fog. The life-boat found the Speedwell off R.3 Buoy at the entrance to Rock Channel.

The men had lost themselves in the fog. The life-boatmen gave them food and towed the boat to New Brighton, reaching her station again at 10.5.—Rewards, £6 12,?..
