Lytham, Lancashire.—At 11.10 Oil the night of the 23rd of September, 1956, the Formby coastguard tele- phoned that the S.S. Bonita, of Stock- holm, had a man on board who had drunk poison and needed immediate medical attention. At 11.45 the life- boat Edward Z. Dresden, on temporary duty at the station, put out with a doctor on board. The sea was calm, a light easterly breeze was blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life- boat came up with the Bonita off Nelson buoy, transferred the sick man and landed him at Lytham, where he was taken to hospital. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at two o'clock on the morning of the24th.—Rewards to the crew, £9 12*.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 10s..
