BIyth, Northumberland. — On the morning of the 6th May the coastguard telephoned that three or four fishing boats were at sea between Blyth and St. Mary's Island, and that owing to very heavy seas across the bar it would be dangerous for them coming into harbour. A moderate easterly breeze was blowing, and there was a very dense fog. The motor life-boat Joseph Adlam was launched at 10.15 A.M.

She fell in with the motor fishing boat Margaret and William in tow of the Ina, and escorted them into harbour.

She then went out again and escorted in the remaining boat, the Douglasses, and returned to her station at 12.50 P.M.—Rewards, £4 4s..
