Brunette

On the evening of the 6th Sep- tember the weather was calm, but there was a heavy swell on the bar, and the yacht Brunette, of New- castle-on-Tyne, with four young people on board, three brothers and their sister, was seen to be drifting down on to the Goswick Sands. If she got among the breakers, she and her crew would, in all probability, be lost. The motor life-boat Westmorland put out at 8.10 P.M., came up with the Brunette two to three miles out, and towed her to a safe anchorage in the bay. Then the crew were taken off and landed at Berwick. The life-boat returned to her station at 10.5 P.M. The owner sent a letter and a donation in gratitude for the rescue.—Rewards, £9 13s..
