The S.S. Baron Yarborough

Workington, Cumberland.—When the S.S. Baron Yarborough, of Ardrossan, was ready for sailing on the 19th of November, 1952, her wireless operator was missing. The steamer put out, but anchored off the port. When the operator arrived the life-boat N. T. was launched at 2.30 in the afternoon in a smooth sea, with a light north- easterly wind blowing, and conveyed him to his ship. The life-boat reached her station again at 2.35.—Rewards, £5.
