BERWICK-ON-TWEED, NORTHUMBERLAND.

—A small sailing yacht, the Little Teal, of Berwick, was observed during the afternoon on the 1st April try ing to keep in shore, but the westerly wind was too heavy for her to carry any after-sail, and she was driven out. At 4 P.M. the Coastguard telephoned to the Coxswain of the Life-boat, and the Lifeboat Matthew Simpson was promptly launched. The yacht was by this time five or six miles off land, in great danger of being swamped owing to the roughness of the sea. On reaching her the Life-boat took her in tow, landing her and her crew of three at 8 P.M..
