On the evening of the 15th November the whole of the local fishing fleet, excepting the Mar- garet and Helen, had returned from the fishing grounds on account of bad weather. A moderate S.S.E. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea. About 5.30 P.M. the light of the Margaret and Helen was seen outside the bar, and the motor life-boat John and William Mudie was launched to her help, es- corted her over the dangerous bar into harbour, and returned to her station at 6 P.M.—Rewards, £7 Is..
