New Brighton, Cheshire. At 12.J5 on the afternoon of the 15th of Decem- ber, 1958, the marine surveyor of the Mersey Harbour and Docks Board told the honorary secretary that the crew of two of the yacht Nomad had spent the night on the Bar lightvessel. The yacht had left Conway in North Wales for Lytham at three o'clock the previous morning and had been adrift in fog when she was picked up by the Bar pilot boat and secured alongside the lightvessel. The yacht's crew consisted of a young man and a woman, and they now asked for a tow. At 12.30 the life- boat Norman B. Corlett put out in a moderate sea. There was a gentle easterly wind and a flood tide. Visi- bility was very poor. The young couple were taken on board the life-boat, and the yacht was towed to Alfred dock and later moored in Wallasey dock.

The life-boat reached her moorings at 6.30. Rewards to the crew, £19 ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 14s.
