A light south-west wind was blowing and the sea smooth, but there was fog. The honorary secretary engaged a rowing boat, with a crew of two, and he and a coastguardsman went out to the vessel and found no help was needed. The vessel refloated under her own power at 11.30. - Rewards, £1 for hire of boat and services of her crew.

NEW BRIGHTON, CHESHIRE. At 12.20 in the afternoon of the 7th of April, 1946, a message was received from the Wallasey police that a woman and two children were surrounded by the tide on a sandbank opposite the New Brighton baths. The sea was rough and a strong north-north-west wind was blowing. The second-coxswain of the life-boat, two motor-mechanics and a lifeboatman went out in the life-boat’s motor boarding boat. They found the sandbank covered and the police signalled to them that their help was not needed. The woman and children had been hauled to safety by lifebuoys and ropes. - Rewards, £1 10s.

NEW BRIGHTON, CHESHIRE. At 1.15 in the afternoon of the 12th of April, 1946, the stageman reported that a boy in a canvas dinghy was in difficulties in mid-river off New Brighton Stage, and drifting seawards.

Five men in a rowing boat had already put off from a hopper to the boy’s help, and it was seen that they also needed help. A moderate north-west breeze was blowing and raising a choppy sea. The life-boat coxswain and motor-mechanic put out in the life-boat’s motor boarding boat. They found the hopper’s boat half full of water and in danger of capsizing. The boy was on board and his dinghy in tow. They towed the ship’s boat and dinghy back to New Brighton Stage, landed the boy and his dinghy, baled out the ship’s boat and towed it, and its crew of five, back to the hopper. - Rewards, 15s..
