Ramsey, Isle of Man.—At eleven o'clock on the morning of the 28th of January, 1957, a message was received from the owners of the S.S. Baron Ramsey, of Ardrossan, that she was lying in Ramsey Bay and had run short of stores because of bad weather. They asked for the life-boat to be launched to take out stores. As the weather was too bad for any other vessel to carry out this task, the life-boat Thomas Corbett was Jaunched at 2.50.

There was a heavy sea, a whole south- westerly gale was blowing, ai]d the tide was ebbing. The life-boat took the stores needed to the Baron Ramsey and returned to her station, arriving at four o'clock.—Rewards to the crew, £8 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 12s..
