Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland.

—When attempting to enter Berwick Harbour during the afternoon of the 28th of August, 1952, the steam drifter Ugie Vale, of Peterhead, with a crew of nine, went aground on some rocks just north of Berwick Light- house. As she was bumping and there was danger of the ship being holed, the life-boat J and W was launched at 5.8 in a slight sea and with a light westerly wind blowing.

After about half an hour the Ugie Vale refloated on the rising tide un- assisted by the life-boat, which then escorted her into harbour, arriving at 6.0.—Rewards, £6 7,9. 6d..
