North Sunderland, Northumberland.— At 10.50 in the morning of the 18th of June, 1949, the Seahouses coastguard telephoned that the tug Dunelm, of Newcastle, was signalling for help, and blowing her siren, half a mile east of Seahouses, and at 11 o'clock the life- boat W.R.A. was launched. A strong north-easterly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found that the tug had been laying channel-buoys, but her port engine had broken down and she was making water. The life- boat took off two Trinity House officials and two passengers, landed them, and then escorted the tug to the lee of Fame Island, where she made temporary repairs. The life-boat then stood by until a salvage tug arrived to tow the Dunelm to the Tyne and returned to her station, arriving at 5.30 that evening. The owners of the tug sent a donation to the Institution.—Re- wards, £30 11s..
