NORTH BERWICK.—On the morning of Sunday the 19th October, a small boat was observed in the Firth of Eorth, apparently making for the shore, and as there was a heavy sea on the coast, the chief officer of coastguard hoisted a red flag to warn, her not to attempt to land.

The Life-boat Fergus Ferguson was 'taken out, but as the tide was low the boat had to be conveyed on her transporting carriage some distance along the beach before a launch could be effected. On reaching the boat she was found to contain seven, men, the crew of the steam trawler Restless Wave, of Granton, which had foundered about four miles from May Island. They were much exhausted and were taken into the Life-boat, which then made for the harbour, arriving there at about 2 P.M..
