Barrow, Lancashire.—At 3.15 on the afternoon of the 6th of October, 1955, a message was received from the pier- head at Ramsden dock that the local harbour motor launch Scout, which had a crew of two and which had put off to a dumb dredger in Walney Channel, had broken down. At 3.30 the life- boat Herbert Leigh was launched. The sea was choppy, there was a fresh north-north-west gale, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the Scout off East Pile light, towed her to Ramsden dock, and reached Barrow again at 4.45.— Rewards to the crew, £8 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8s..
