Blyth, Northumberland. — At about 11.50 A.M. on the 8th December, 1937, it was reported to the coxswain that the motor fishing boat Ina, of Blyth, with a. crew of two, was out fishing.

The weather had got worse since she had put out, and it was thought that she could not make the harbour in safety. A strong N.E. gale was blowing, with heavy breaking seas. At 12.5 P.M. the motor life-boat Joseph Adlam was launched. She found the Ina in a dense fog about one and a half miles east of the Gas Buoy outside the harbour. The life-boat escorted her into harbour, which was reached at 1 P.M.—Rewards, £8 5*. 6d..
