The S.S. Baron Elcho

Workington, Cumberland.—On the morning of the 12th of November, 1952, the S.S. Baron Elcho, of Ardros- san, wirelessed that she was short of provisions. At 10.30 the life-boat N.T. was launched in a calm sea with a light easterly breeze blowing. She came up with the steamer off the harbour entrance, put the provisions on board, and reached her station again at 12.15. She was then asked to take out the master's wife. This she did and returned again to her station at four o'clock.—Rewards, £10 10s..
