Lytham-St. Anne's, Lancashire. At 8.20 on the morning of the 29th of November, 1959, a watchman on board the navigation barge moored off Lytham told the honorary secretary that a pas- sing vessel had reported that the pilot cutter St. Anne of Preston had broken down off the Salters Bank. At 8.55 the life-boat White Star, on temporary duty at the station, was launched in a rough sea. There was a moderate westerly wind and it was one hour before high water. The life-boat found the pilot cutter, with a crew of six, anchored off the Salters buoy. She took her in tow to moorings alongside the navigation barge. On her way back the life-boat temporarily slipped her tow to take a pilot off an outward bound ship. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 5s..
