New Brighton, Cheshire. At 3.55 on the afternoon of the 3rd of September, 1958, the New Brighton stageman learnt from the dredger Otterspool when she entered harbour that a small yacht was in difficulties in the Rock Channel. The motor mechanic was told of this, and at 4.10 the life-boat Norman B. Corlett put out in a choppy sea. There was a fresh easterly wind and an ebb tide. The life-boat found two yachts having difficulty in making the shore because of the weather con- ditions. She stood by until the yachts were safe and then returned to her moorings, arriving at 5.27. Rewards to the crew, £5 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 6s..
