Boy Arthur and Ocean Vanguard

Amble, Northumberland.—The motor life-boat Frederick and Emma was launched at half past eleven in the morning of the 2nd of February, 1948, as two fishing cobles were overdue and a moderate west-south-west gale was blowing with a very rough sea. She found one coble, the Boy Arthur, a mile south-east of Coquet Island, and the other, the Ocean Vanguard, two miles to the north-east, fighting their way in against the gale. She escorted them into harbour and got back to her station at 12.45 in the afternoon.-—Rewards, £8..
