Ramsey, Isle of Man.—At 4.40 on the afternoon of the 12th of December, 1952, the coastguard reported that the steam trawler Patricia Hague, of Fleetwood, was in distress two and a half miles north-west-by-west of Point of Ayre, and at 5.15 the life-boat Thomas Corbett was launched. There was a light breeze with a swell and snow showers. The life-boat found the trawler, which had boiler trouble, three and a half miles north-east of the Point. The life-boat stood by her until another trawler arrived and took her in tow. As there had been a gale warning, the life-boat escorted the two trawlers to Douglas and then returned to her station, arriving at seven o'clock on the morning of the 13th.—Rewards, £41 8s..
