NOVEMBER 24TH. - BARROW. LANCASHIRE.

At 9.10 in the morning the Port War Signal Station reported to the lifeboat coxswain that a small-vessel appeared to be in need of help about three miles off shore, east-south-east of Walney Light. A westerly gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea and hail squalls. The motor life-boat N.T. was launched at 9.45 and found the auxiliary sailing vessel Vidar, of London, laden with fish and carrying a crew of four. Her engine had broken down, but the crew had repaired it before the life-boat reached her. They asked to be escorted into harbour, and this the life-boat did, arriving at 12.30. - Rewards, £6 19s..
