At 4.20 on the afternoon of 15th December the Pulling and Sailing Life-boat Lizzie Porter was launched in charge of the Second Coxswain, as the fishing boat Respect, of Seahouses, manned by the'Life-boat Coxswain and three other men, had not returned with the other fishing boats which had come in during the afternoon. They had had difficulty in making the harbour en- trance, as the seas were breaking heavily, and a moderately strong N.E.

wind was blowing. After searching for some time the Life-boat found the missing boat about two miles out and escorted her to safety. — Rewards, £24 14s. Qd..
