Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland.

—At seven o'clock on the evening of the 16th of November, 1952, the coast- guard telephoned that a vessel east-by- north of the pier had signalled for a doctor as her master felt ill. At 7.23 the life-boat J. and W. was launched with a doctor on board in a moderate sea with a fresh north-north-east breeze blowing. She found the Swiss steamer Lugano one and a half miles to the north-east. The doctor boarded her, could find nothing wrong with the master, and returned to Berwick in the life-boat, arriving at 8.53.—Re- wards, £9 4s..
