Fleetwood, Lancashire.—In the early hours of the 30th of .May. 1956, the life-boat station was told that the motor fishing vessel Tranquillity of Fleetwood was overdue from trials of a newly installed engine. At 8.5 the life-boat Edmund and Mary Robinson, on temporary duty at the station, was launched in a slight sea. There was a slight north-westerly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. At ten o'clock the life-boat picked up a wireless message that the trawler lied Knight had found the Tranquillity with her engine broken down and with ten people on board nine miles west-north-west of Lure buoy. The life-boat reached the posi- tion at 10.30 and took the Tranquillity in tow, arriving' back at her station at 12.40. This is the sixth occasion in the last two years on which an Institu- tion's life-boat lias launched to the help of the Tranquillity.—Rewards to the crew, £12 19s.; rewards to helpers on shore, £4 4s..
