A CUMBRIAN lifeboat team was called out to a person threatening to enter the water at Southerness on the Scottish coast.
The incident happened at 4:56am on Sunday morning.
Low tide was at 4:41, which meant Silloth RNLI lifeboat had to launch from its secondary site at West Beach.
A spokesman for Silloth RNLI said: "Also involved in the rescue were Nith Mobile Unit and Portling Coastguard. The early morning weather was dark but clear with a gentle breeze. Portling Coastguard were quickly on scene but unable to locate the casualty.

"Consequently the lifeboat was stood down and they returned to the West Beach where they were recovered and brought back to the lifeboat station at 6:02 am."
