Daisy and Young Kenneth

Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland. — At midday on the 4th February there was a very heavy sea on the bar, and, as fishing boats could be seen making for harbour, the motor life-boat Westmorland was launched at 12.40 P.M., in case her help was wanted. She stood by the steam drifters Daisy, of Berwick, and Young Kenneth, of Great Yarmouth, while they crossed the bar and got safely into harbour. Three other boats came up, but, after nearing the bar, they altered course and made off in a northerly direction. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.40 P.M.— Rewards, £2 9s. Qd..
