Zuava
Barrow, Lancashire.—At 6.5 on the evening of the llth of March, 1954, the Fleetwood life-boat coxswain rang up to say that the fishing boat Zuava, of Fleetwood, had broken down two miles north-north-west of Lightning Knoll Buoy. At 6.35 the life-boat Herbert Leigh was launched in a choppy sea, with a light east-south-east breeze blowing. She found the Zuava, which had a crew of two, four miles north- north-west of Lightning Knoll. The Zuava had lost her propeller, and the life-boat towed her as far as the Wyre Light. Here another fishing vessel took over the tow and made for Fleet- wood. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 11.3.—Rewards, £16 2s. 6d..
