Ramsey, Isle of Man.—At 12.45 on the afternoon of the 25th of August, 1956, the coastguard reported that a motor fishing vessel anchored about three miles east-north-east of Ramsey harbour was burning red flares. At one o'clock the life-boat Thomas Corbett was launched in a smooth sea.

There was a moderate westerly breeze, and it was high water. The life-boat found the fishing vessel Dreadnought of Peel, with a crew of six. Her en- gines had broken down, and the life- boat towed her to Ramsey harbour, which was reached at 2.40.—Rewards to the crew, £7; rewards to the helpers on shore, £11 10s..
