At 9 A.M. on the 9th October the sea was making fast, and one of the fishing boats, the Kindly Light, had not returned from the fishing grounds.

The coastguard stations at Bamburgh, Holy Island and Sea Houses were warned and a look-out was kept.

Later the boat was seen approaching, and the pulling and sailing life-boat Lizzie Porter was launched at 12.40 P.M. A moderate and freshening S.S.E.

gale was blowing, with heavy sea races, and it was hazy. The Kindly Light was escorted safely through the dangerous entrance into harbour, and the life-boat arrived back at her station at 1.5 P.M.—Rewards, £18 7s..
