Workington, Cumberland.—At 4.35 on the afternoon of the 1st of November.

1953, the coastguard rang up to say that the dock police had reported that four youths had put off in the fishing boat Minnie, of Maryport, but that she was now out of sight. The sea was rough and a strong south-south- east wind was blowing, and at 4.50 the life-boat Manchester and SalfordXXIX put to sea. She found the Minnie drifting four miles north of Working- ton, rescued the youths and towed the boat to harbour, reaching her station again at 6.45.—Rewards, £7 11s..
