Lively Hope

Workington, Cumberland.—At 8.35 on the evening of the 5th of October, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that a fish- ing boat had made flares north of Workington pier, and at nine o'clock the life-boat N.T. left her moorings.

There was a rough sea, with a fresh west-north-west breeze blowing, and she found the fishing boat Lively Hope, of Girvan, with a crew of two, four miles north-east of Workington. The boat's engine had broken down, and the life-boat towed her to Workington, reaching her station again at 12.30.— Rewards, £13 25..
