Holy Island, Northumberland. — On the morning of the 16th April the honorary secretary saw, through binoculars, that the Longstone lighthouse was flying a two-flag signal. The signal could not be read, and the motor lifeboat Milburn was launched at 11.45 A.M., to investigate. A strong N.E.

breeze was blowing, and the sea was rough. The weather was cold, with sleet. The life-boat found that one of the lightkeepers was suffering from a badly poisoned hand, and was in need of medical attention. The life-boat landed him at Seahouses, took a relief off to the lighthouse, and returned to her station at 3.45 P.M.—Rewards.
