Eyemouth, Berwickshire. — During a strong E.N.E. gale with a very heavy sea on the llth December, 1937, anxiety was felt for the safety of the Burnmouth fishing yawls returning to harbour. The new motor life-boat Frank and William Oates was launched on her first service, during the morning, and went to Burnmouth, only to find that four boats had got in safely. As the fifth boat, Braw Lads, did not appear, it was assumed that she had made for another harbour, and the life-boat returned. No sooner had she got to Eyemouth than it was learned that the Braw Lads was making for Eyemouth, so the life-boat put out again and stood by as she came in. The life-boat finally returned at 3 P.M. Everyone expressed great satisfaction with the behaviour of the life-boat.—Rewards, £17 9s. 6d..
