About 9 P.M. on the 9th May the wind began to freshen from the north and quickly increased to a whole gale, causing ,a very rough sea. The fishing- boat Harmony, of Eyemouth, was at the j time lying to her nets, and found it impossible to haul them. While trying to do so she was struck by a very heavy sea, which swept right over her, putting the fires out, and the crew were in considerable risk of being washed over- board. The boat ran for Berwick-on- Tweed, but the tide was dead low and the surf on the bar very heavy. The Life-boat Matthew Simpson was, there- fore, launched and proceeded to the mouth of the river; but in the mean- while the Harmony had run the gauntlet of heavy seas, and had managed to get inside the pier ends. Here a coble took a line to the pier, and by this means a hawser was put on board, and the boat towed into safety. In the meanwhile the Life-boat stood by until she was out of danger..
