While the Motor Life-boat Joseph Adlam was cruising round H.M.S. Warspite in Blyth Bay during an exercise, on the 18th September, the yacht Swallow, of Blyth, was seen to be in difficulties. A fresh westerly wind was blowing with a choppy sea, and the yacht, which had been disabled in collision with another yacht, was drifting seawards with her crew of three. They could not make any headway against the fresh wind with oars, neither could they set sail. The Life-boat, which had on board Mr. John Manners, the Honorary Secretary, took the Swallow in tow and brought her and her crew into safety, arriving at Blyth at 4 P.M.—Rewards, £4 4s..
