JUNE 11TH. - FLEETWOOD: LANCASHIRE.

At 1.30 P.M. the lighthousekeeper reported that a small motor boat was aground on the east side of the Wyre Channel. A strong N.W. breeze was blowing with a rough sea. Two other motor boats could be seen attempting to reach her, but were unable to do so. The motor life-boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched at 2.15 P.M.

She found the motor boat Roma, of Fleetwood, a converted ship’s life-boat, with three people in her, wet and exhausted. She took them on board, put a life-boatman in the Roma and towed her to harbour. The lifeboat returned to her station at 3.15 P.M. A letter and a donation were received in gratitude for this service.-Rewards, £5 5s. 6d.
