On the evening of the 12th May the weather came on thick, whilst a very heavy sea was running. Just before the fog came on the -coble Jane Douglas, of Beadnell, was observed between North Sunderland Point and Beadnell. About 7 P.M., as the sea continued very heavy and the fog did not lift, great anxiety was felt at' Beadnell for the safety of the men on board the craft, and the Life-boat Foster Fawsett was telephoned for. She was taken by road to Beadnell and launched there. After an unsuccessful search the Life-boat proceeded to the Inner Fame Islands, and found that the coble had landed there after a very rough time. The skipper had great difficulty in keeping his coble up to the sea to prevent her being swamped, and he afterwards stated that on three occasions she practically " stood on end." At daybreak the crew of the coble decided to return to Beadnell, accompanied by the Life-boat. On reaching that place it was found that the sea was still very heavy, but by skilful seamanship she succeeded in making the harbour in safety. The Life-boat was then hauled up and taken back to her house by road..
