North Sunderland, Northumberland.— During the morning of the 15th of January, 1954, the weather worsened while the local fishing boats were at sea, and at ten o'clock the life-boat W.R.A. was launched. The sea was rough, with a whole gale blowing from the west. The life-boat escorted some of the boats to the harbour, but the fishing boat Kindly Light was still out, and the life-boat put off again.

She was guided to the Kindly Light by the life-boat's second coxswain, who was at sea in his own boat, escorted her in, and reached her station again at 11.45.—Rewards, £20 7s..
