Port St. Mary, Isle of Man.—On the morning of the 1st of August, 1954, twelve members of an angling club went in a motor boat to the Calf of Man, but during the afternoon the weather grew worse and prevented them from returning. At three o'clock in the afternoon, as the weather was too bad for a shore-boat to put out, the life-boatmen manned the reserve life- boat Helen Sutton, which is stored at the station. The sea was rough, a fresh southerly wind was blowing and it was two hours after high water.

The life-boat embarked the twelve people and returned to Port St.

Mary at 4.30.—No expense to the Institution..
