Workington, Cumberland.—On the 1st of June, 1955, the motor vessel Kengis, of Stockholm, which had anchored off the entrance to the harbour, wirelessed for a doctor to attend a sick man.

At 2.15 in the afternoon the life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX put out with the local Medical Officer of Health on board, and made for the vessel in a moderate sea with a light southerly breeze blowing. The life- boat took on board the sick man, landed him, and reached her station again at 3.45.—Rewards to the crew, £3 15s.; reward to the helper on shore, 8s..
