New Brighton, Cheshire. — At 3.20 on the afternoon of the 29th of July, 1956, the Formby coastguard tele- phoned that a yacht with three boys aboard was in difficulties in the Rock Channel. At 3.45 the life-boat City of Glasgow, on temporary duty at the station, put out. The sea was very rough, there was a strong west-north- westerly gale blowing, and the tide was flooding. Just after leaving her moorings the life-boat went to the yacht Dulcet Bella, whose crew of two were calling for help south of the New Brighton landing stage. Having res- cued them, the life-boat then went to- wards the Rock Channel as far west as R.6 buoy, but could find nothing. A report was then received that another yacht was in distress up the river towards Eastham. After landing the crew of the Dulcet Bella, the life-boat went as far as Eastham, but she could find no yacht needing help. However, off Broomborough she found the yacht Troglodyte, with three people aboard, in difficulties and towed her to New Brighton, which was reached at 8.30.— Rewards to the crew, £12 16s.; rewards to helpers on shore, £l 12s..
