A Motor Launch (1)

Berwick - on - Tweed, Northumberland.— Just after 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th of June, 1948, the coastguard reported that a motor launch, in trying to enter the harbour in a fresh northerly breeze, with a heavy swell, had run on the bar, and at 4.7 the motor life-boat J. and W. put out. She found the launch with her steering gear out of action. The life-boat towed her off, and into the harbour, arriving back at her station at 5 o'clock.—Rewards, £7 2s. Gd..
