Fleetwood, Lancashire.—At 9.20 on the night of the 2nd of February, 1957, the Formby coastguard telephoned that a fishing vessel on passage from Deganwy to Fleetwood had engine trouble and was drifting near the Morecambe Bay lightveseel. She had been in collision with the lightvessel and was damaged. At 9.45 the life- boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched.

There was a very rough sea, a moderate southerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was Jlooding. The life-boat readied the lightvessel and found the fishing vessel Reliance, of Deganwy, with a -crew of two. She took the two men on board and towed the fishing vessel to Fleetwood, arriving there at 5.35. The owner of the Reliance thanked the crew.—Rewards to the crew, £20 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 16s..
