Fleetwood, Lancashire.—At 5.30 on the afternoon of the 12th of March, 1955, the Formby coastguard reported that the fishing boat Tranquillity, of Peter- head, had broken down near the More- cambe Bay lightvessel. At 7.18 the coastguard stated that a trawler had found her under sail and had towed her to a position nine miles west-by-south of the lightvessel. At 8.10 the life- boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched in a moderate sea. There was a fresh easterly breeze, and it was low water.

The life-boat found the Tranquillity, which had a crew of two, at anchor ten miles west of Morecambe Bay lightvessel. She towed her to Fleet- wood, reaching her station again at 8.40 on the morning of the 13th.— Rewards, £28 18s..
