On the night of 9th March the Coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat was believed to be on the rocks near the Carr Lightship, and on fire. The Pulling and Sailing Life-boat John and Sarah Hatfield was launched at 11 P.M. in a slight W.N.W. breeze, with a moderate sea, but on arriving at the position given she could find no sign of the boat, which had got off and gone on her way. Un- fortunately while the Life-boat was being launched one of the helpers fell in front of the carriage and was run over and killed. In accordance with its usual practice the Institution has granted a pension to the widow and made allow- ances for three children, besides pay- ing the funeral expenses.—Rewards, £39 4s. Gd..
