Workington, Cumberland. At 5.7 on the afternoon of the 26th of July, 1960, the coastguard told the honorary secre- tary that a fishing boat was firing red flares one mile south of Workington pier. The life-boat Manchester and Salford XXIX was launched three minutes later in a fresh west-north- westerly breeze and a moderate sea. It was two hours before low water. The life-boat found the fishing vessel Prim- rose, which had a crew of seven, drifting with her engine out of action. She towed her back to harbour, arriving at six o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £7..
