Workington, Cumberland.—At 9.55 on the evening of the 29th of September, 1952, the Walney Island coastguard telephoned that the No. 1 pilot boat, of Workington, with two men on board, had broken down off Workington, and at ten o'clock the life-boat N.T. was launched. The sea was moderate with a light north-easterly breeze blow- ing, and she came up with the boat two miles to the westward, towed her to Workington, and reached her station again at midnight. The pilots made a donation to the funds of the Insti- tution.—Rewards, £6 4*..
