Berwick-on-Tweed, Northumberland.

—At 1.6 on the afternoon of the 8th of April, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that a motor boat had broken down and was drifting towards the shore three miles north of Berwick. At 1.26 the life-boat J. and W. was launched. There was a slight sea and a light south-westerly breeze. The life-boat found the local fishing boat Bydand, with a crew of three, about two hundred yards off-shore, and towed her to the harbour, arriving at 2.30.—Rewards, £7 4*..
