Alistair's mum. It persuaded her son of the value of saving.

Grace Darling's father was the Lighthouse Keeper. On the night when a ship was wrecked on the rocks below, Grace rowed out to the stricken ship, and saved the lives of the sailors. There is a book entitled "Grace Darling", if you want to read the whole story. There is also a painting showing Grace rowing through the storm. Hope this helps.

Sounds like Grace Darling, who was the precursor of the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute).

Read about it, and the Grace Darling museum here :-
