Barrow, Lancashire. At seven o'clock on the morning of the 1 Oth of September.

1959, the police informed the coxswain that the fishing boat Gina of Barrow with a crew of five, which had been at sea fishing the previous day, had not returned. When the coxswain and police made further enquiries the Walney lighthouse-keeper informed them that a boat was anchored off the Bar buoy and that her crew were waving for help. The life-boat Herbert Leigh was launched at 8.12 in a calm sea. There were light easterly airs and the tide was half ebb. The life-boat made for the Bar buoy and found the Gina with her engines broken down.

She took her in tow to Walney bridge and returned to her station, arriving at 9.55. Rewards to the crew, £4 ; re- wards to the helpers on shore, £2 9s..
