Workington, Cumberland. — At nine o'clock on the morning of the 20th of November, 1956, a message was received from the master of the Nor- wegian vessel Varangbcrg that he had taken the motor vessel Kind Knight, with a crew of four, in tow off Lytham and was towing her to Workington.

The Kind Knight had broken down with engine trouble four miles south- east of Mull of Galway. The Norwegian master asked for the life-boat to meet his vessel off Workington and take over the tow. The life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX put out at 9.5.

There was a strong south-easterly breeze and a smooth sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat took over the tow from the Varangberg and arrived back at her moorings at 10.30.

—Rewards to the crew, £8 15s..
