Early on the morning of the 4th March six local motor fishing boats—Fortunatus, Galli- lee, Mizpah, Noel, Pilot Me and Venus —-put oft to the fishing grounds. By 8 A.M. the sea had become rough, and the river was running strongly into the harbour, making the entrance into harbour very dangerous. The motor life-boat Margaret Harker Smith was launched at 10.10 A.M. and stood by outside the entrance until eleven o'clock, when the Gallilee came in sight and was escorted safely home. She then put out again and met and escorted in all the other boats, returning to her station at 2.5 P.M.—Rewards, £8 5s. Qd..
