Noel II, Golden Gate, Venus, Galilee, Lady Kitchener, et al

The fishing fleet put to sea early on the morning of the 4th February. At about 1 P.M., on 'the flowing tide, the sea made rapidly, and conditions became dan- gerous for the boats. The motor life- boat Margaret Marker Smith was launched at 1.50 P.M. A moderate N.E. breeze was then blowing with a heavy ground sea. The life-boat went about one mile north, picked up the Noel II, and escorted her into harbour.

She went out again and escorted in, one by one, Golden Gate, Venus, Galilee, Lady Kitchener, Pilot Me, and Success.

She returned to her station at 5.15 P.M.

A very large crowd of people watched this service.—Rewards, £8 5*. Qd..
