Blyth, Northumberland.—At 5.36 in the evening of the 15th of September, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that a small boat seemed to be in trouble in Cambois Bay, and at 5.50 the life-boat Winston Churchill, Civil Service No. 8 was launched. The sea was moderate with a strong westerly breeze blowing.

The life-boat found the motor boat Mono. Lisa, of Cambois, with a crew of four. Her engine had broken down and she was drifting seawards. The life-boat took off the four men and towed the boat to Blyth harbour, arriving back at her station again at 7.10.—Rewards, £6 17*..
