Hartlepool, Durham.—At 6.40 on the night of the 1st of February, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that a vesselwas burning rags two miles north-by- east of Heugh Light. A strong south- erly breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. At 7.20, the tife-boat The Princess Royal, Civil Service No. 7 was launched, and found the motor fishing vessel Sunray, of Grimsby, with a crew of four, six miles north of the Light. Her engine had broken down. The life- boat towed her in and reached her station again at 12.30 the next morning.
