Ramsey, Isle of Man. At 1.42 on theafternoon of the 26th of March, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the s.s. Colebrook had the sailing boat Dolores in tow and her master had asked to be relieved of the tow off Ramsey. At 2.10, when the life- boat Frank and William Dates, on tem- porary duty at the station, was launched, it was low water and there was a strong west-north-westerly wind with a cor- responding sea. The life-boat met the Colebrook three miles south-east of Maughold Head and took over the tow.

She towed the Dolores to Ramsey har- bour and returned to her station at 5.15..
