Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland.

•—At 7.59 on the evening of the 10th of November, 1952, the coastguard telephoned that H.M. M.F.V. No. 1106 had run aground off Spittal Point, and at 8.20 the life-boat J. and W. was launched. The sea was moderate, with a fresh north-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the motor vessel, with a crew of eleven, in a dangerous position south of Berwick harbour entrance. The life- boat landed two officers and five ratings and, as her services were then no longer needed, she returned to her station, arriving at 8.55. Her crew stood by on shore until 11.30 in case they might be needed again. The vessel refloated three davs later.— Rewards, £13 7s..
