Amble, Northumberland.—At 1.32 on the afternoon of the 1st of June, 1953, the coastguard rang up to say that thefishing boat Glad Tidings had left Druridge Bay for Amble, but that conditions on the Amble harbour bar were dangerous. At 2.17 the coast- guard reported that the Glad Tidings was unable to enter the harbour, and that the fishing boat Radiant Morn was now with her. At 3.5 the life-boat J. W. Archer was launched in a rough sea with a fresh north-north-west breeze blowing. She escorted the boats in and reached her station again at 4.35.—Rewards. £5 5s..
