Fleetwood, Lancashire.—At 9.45 on the evening of the 13th of May, 1956, the police reported that several red flares had been seen in the Wyre Channel, and at ten o'clock the life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson, on temporary duty at the station, was launched. There was a moderate sea and a moderate west-south-westerly breeze. It was two hours after lowwater. The life-boat came up with the yacht Progress, with three people on board, which was making slow progress up the channel. She escorted her to moorings and arrived back at her station at 10.45.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £2 8s..
