IN THICK FOG North Sunderland, Northumberland.

At noon on the 16th of July, 1947, with a very thick fog, the Seahouses coast- guard reported that he could hear men shouting, a klaxon sounding and a bell ringing, about a quarter of a mile east-south-east of the coastguard station. The noises were believed to come from a fishing vessel. At 12.5 the motor life-boat W.R.A. was launched in a light southerly breeze and slight swell. She found the fishing vessel Bonny Lass, of Fisherrow, and escorted her to harbour. She then went in search of the fishing vessel Good Design, of Pittenweem, known to be fishing in the neighbourhood, and escorted her in, returning to her station at 1.45 that afternoon.—Rewards, £24 6s. 6d..
