Sunderland, Co. Durham. — In the afternoon of the 17th November the coxswain saw two cobles in difficulty off Hendon. A N.N.E. gale was blowing, with a rough sea and heavy rain. The motor life-boat Edward and Isabella Irwin put out at 2.50 A.M., and came up with the local coble Olive, with five men on board, about one hundred yards off the beach at Hendon. The Olive had been towing the other coble, the Agnes, but the Agnes had foundered and her crew of two had got on board the Olive. The life-boat towed theOlive into the South Outlet, and returned to her station at 4.30 P.M.— Rewards, £8..
