Tynemouth, Northumberland. — At 12.30 P.M. on the 17th November, 1937, the coastguard reported a small vessel anchored about a mile east of Brown's Point, Cullercoats, apparently with engine trouble. The weather was bad, and the life-boat crew were assembled in case of need. During the afternoon the vessel—the Norwegian steamer Torborg—was towed towards the Tyne by a tug. At 8.40 P.M. the coastguard reported that she had stranded inside the Tyne piers. A S.E. gale was then blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat Henry Frederick Swan put out at 9.20 P.M. and stood by while tugs refloated the Torborg. She accompanied her up the river, and returned to her station at 12.15 A.M.— Rewards, £19 3s..
