New Brighton, Cheshire.—At 6.0 on the evening of the 20th of July, 1952, the Formby coastguard telephoned that a converted ship's boat had stranded on the revetment in the Crosby channel near C.16 buoy. She was in a dangerous position, and at6.20 the life-boat Norman B. Corlett left her moorings. There was a slight sea with a light north-westerly breeze blowing, and she found the motor boat Adelaide, of Liverpool, with a crew of two, listing close to some iron stakes. The life-boat passed a line to her, pulled her clear and, as she was making water, towed her to Egremont, reaching her station again at 7.45.— Rewards, £6 2s..
