During a strong northerly gale with a ground swell, on the 15th October, anxiety was felt for the Douglass's, of North Sunderland, which was the only fishing boat at sea. She could be seen hauling her lines and would not be able to make harbour before darkness set in. At 5.45 P.M. the pulling and sailing life-boat Lizzie Porter was launched and stood by at the harbour entrance. The fishing boat arrived at 6.15 P.M., and was safely escorted into harbour by the life-boat.—Rewards, £18 7s..
