North Sunderland, Northumberland.—• The weather became very bad about mid-day on the 31st of January, 1948, while the motor fishing boat John Wesley was at the Fame Islands, and the motor life-boat W.R.A. was launched at 1.55 in the afternoon. A strong west-south-west wind was then blowing, with a rough sea. The life- boat found the fishing boat at 2.15 and towed her home, arriving at four o'clock.—Rewards, £26 17*..
