Edna

Port St. Mary, Isle of Man.—Shortly after midnight on the 4th of Septem- ber, 1956, the local harbourmaster reported that the motor fishing vessel Edna, with three men on board, was long overdue from a fishing trip be- tween Langness and Chicken Rock.

At 12.5 the life-boat R. A. Colbt/ Cubbin No. 2 put out in a calm sea. The tide was ebbing. After a short search the life-boat found the Edna off Langness and towed her into Castletown. The life-boat then returned to her moorings, arriving at 2.10. The crew of the fishing vessel made a gift to the life- boat crew.—Rewards to the crew, £8 8s.; reward to the helper on shore, 14s..
