Workington, Cumberland.—At 10.30 on the morning of the 10th of January, 1956, the Walney Island coastguard rang up to say that the skipper of a fishing boat had come in from sea atWhitehaven and had stated that he had been towing the fishing boat Tranquillity, of Peterhead. The Tran- quillity, which had a crew of three, had broken down and the fishing boat had had to slip her in the bad weather south-west of St. Bees Head. The coastguard asked for the life-boat, and at 10.45 the life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX put out. The sea was rough, there was a strong southerly wind, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat made a search and came up with the Tranquillity between six and seven miles south-west of St. Bees Head. She found that the Tranquil- lity had broken a coupling and towed her to Workington, arriving at 4.30.—• Rewards to the crew, £18 10s.; reward to the helper on shore, 17s..
