Largo Bay

Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland.—• At about 12.45 in the morning of the 27th of April, 1948, it was reported to the coastguard that the local motor fishing boat Largo Bay, which had gone out during the evening of the previous day had not returned, and the motor life-boat J. and W. put out at five minutes to one, in a moderate north-west breeze with a slight sea.

Two miles south of Berwick Pier she found the fishing-boat with her engine broken down. She had four men on board. The life-boat towed her back to Berwick, arriving at half-past two.— Rewards. £7 4s..
