Workington, Cumberland.—At three o'clock on the afternoon of the 25th of March, 1956, there was a telephone call reporting that a boat off Parton was in distress and that one of her crew was waving a white flag. At 3.15 the life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX put out. The sea was rough, there was a strong south- easterly wind, and it was one hour before low water. The life-boat found the motor boat Olga, of Whitehaven, with a crew of two, one and a half miles off Parton. The boat had shipped some sea water which had stopped her engine. The life-boat rescued her crew and towed her to Workington, arriving at 5.20.—Re- wards to the crew, £10 10s.; rewards to the helper on shore, 14,?..
