The S.S. Baron Yarborough

Workington, Cumberland. — On the 18th of August, 1954, the weather was too bad for the S.S. Baron Yarborough, of Ardrossan, which was at anchor off the harbour, to enter, and she wire- lessed for provisions. As no other boat was available, the life-boat Man- chester and Salford XXIX put off at 3.15 in the afternoon. The sea was rough, a moderate north-north-eastgale was blowing, and it was one hour after low water. The life-boat put the provisions aboard and returned to her station, arriving at 4.30.—Rewards £3 15s..
