Sunderland, Co. Durham.—The motor life-boat Edward and Isabella Irttiin was launched at 11.20 P.M. on the 26th October, and returned after a fruitless search for a fishing boat with two men on board, at 4 A.M. on the 27th. She was being taken back to her house at 11 A.M. when news was received that the motor fishing coble White Lady, of Sunderland, was at sea.

The weather was bad, with a strong N.W. gale and choppy sea. As the boat was about a mile and a half E.S.E. of Roker Pier, it was decided to go out to her. She was escorted into harbour, which was reached at 12.15 P.M.
