New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 6.3 on the evening of the 7th of July, 1952, the Wallasey police telephoned that a sailing dinghy had capsized in the river Mersey off Egremont, and that two people were in the water. The life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson, on temporary duty at the station, left her moorings at 6.13 in a rough sea, with a strong southerly breeze blowing, but found that a dinghy from the shore had picked up the two people from the water, and that they had been landed and conveyed by ambu- lance to hospital. Taking aboard the three men who had effected the rescue, the life-boat brought them and their dinghy, as well as the capsized dinghy, which belonged to the University Sailing Club, to the New Brighton landing-stage, which was reached about seven o'clock.—Rewards, £6..
