Tynemouth, Northumberland.—At six in the evening of the 16th of October, 1948, the coastguard telephoned that two sailing yachts were becalmed in fog,jone to the north of the pier and the other to the south, and that they were a danger to shipping, so the motor life- boat Tynesider was launched at 6.30.

She found the sailing yacht Narwhal south of the pier, advised the skipper to anchor and went in search of the other yacht. She found her, the lolanthe, one mile north-east of the pier, took her in tow, returned to the Narwhal, took her in tow also, and moored both yachts in the harbour, arriving back at her station at 7.47. The owner of the lolanthe sent a donation to the Institu- tion.—Rewards, £10 6s..
