Workington, Cumberland.—At 2.45 on the afternoon of the 1st of October, 1952, the master of the S.S. Baron Dunmore, of Ardrossan, reported that his ship had run aground in the channel at Workington and asked for the life- boat. The life-boat N.T. left her moorings at once in a rough sea with a fresh northerly breeze blowing and found the steamer, laden with iron ore, on the south side of the channel. The life-boat stood by her for an hour and a half while the tide ebbed, and then returned to her station, arriving at 4.30. At nine o'clock that evening the master asked if the life-boat would stand by on the rising tide, and the N.T. put out again. She stood by the steamer until she refloated. Two tugs then towed the steamer into dock, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 12.30 in the early morning.—Rewards, 1st service, £7"; 2nd service, £11 3s..
