New Brighton, Cheshire. At 6.35 on the evening of the 2nd of October, 1960, the stageman informed the honorary secretary that a boat was drifting out of control up river with the tide. The life-boat Norman B.Corlett put out at seven o'clock in a strong south-easterly breeze with a rough sea and a flood tide. The life-boat came up with the fishing boat Sea Fisher, which had a crew of three, and towed her into the Alfred dock at Birkenhead. The life-boat returned to her station at nine o'clock..
