Sunderland, Durham.—At 9.30 in the morning, on the 3rd of April, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that a motor fishing vessel was flying distress signals one mile to the north east. Accord- ingly at 9.50 the life-boat Edward and Isabella Irwin was launched, in a moderate sea with a moderate westerly breeze blowing. She found the motor fishing coble Cornucopia, carrying a crew of three, with her engine broken down. Thereupon she towed her to harbour and reached her station again at eleven.—Rewards, £8 9*..
