North Sunderland, Northumberland.— At 11.30 A.M. on the 3rd February the fishing boats Lindfar and Catherine, of Eyemouth, were seen making for the harbour. A moderate to whole northerly gale was blowing, with a rough sea,and heavy snow showers, and the entrance was dangerous. The pulling and sailing life-boat Lizzie Porter put out at 11,45 A.M. and stood by at the entrance until both boats got in. The skipper of the Lindfar said that five other boats were out, and might be making for North Sunderland, and the life-boat continued to stand by.

At 3 P.M. it was learnt that the boats had got safely into Eyemouth and Burnmouth, and the life-boat returned to her moorings.—Rewards, £13 6s..
