TWO BOYS TAKEN OFF DRIFTING BOAT New Brighton, Cheshire. At 7.45 on the evening of the 21st July, 1962, the police informed the honorary secretary that a dinghy with two boys on board was adrift off Brazil buoy as her engine had broken down. The boys were trying to row the boat back to New Brighton.

A moderate westerly wind was blowing with a choppy sea. At eight o'clock the life-boat Norman B. Corlett put out on the ebbing tide. She picked up the dinghy off the C.29 buoy, took the two boys on board and towed the dinghy back to New Brighton. She then returned to her station, arriving at nine o'clock..
