The Motor Life-boat Herbert Joy II. was taken out for the usual quarterly exer- cise at low water on the morning of 22nd March. A moderate S.S.E. gale was blowing with a rough sea. While she was out the weather became worse, and as it was known that the motor coble S. B. Colling was at sea the Cox- swain decided to report to the Coast- guard and then go off to look for the coble. She was picked up about one and a half miles to the northward, and escorted to harbour.—Rewards, £20 19s. 6d..
