.—On the morning of the 30th October the coxswain was told that the local fishing boat Pilot Me was at sea. A strong N.E. breeze was blowing, with snow showers, and heavy seas were breaking over the pier exten- sions, and right out to the Rock buoy.The motor life-boat Margaret Harker Smith was launched at 9.45 A.M. in case her help should be wanted. She met the Pilot Me about two and a half miles E.N.E. of the pier, and escorted her safely home, both boats using their drogues. The life-boat returned to her station at noon.—Rewards, £8 5s. 6d..
