Berwick-on- Tweed, Northumberland.

—At 1.40 on the afternoon of the 23rd of August, 1954, the coastguard rang up to say that the motor fishing vessel Ariadne Johanna, of Schevenin- gen, which was one mile east of the pier, was making flag signals. She wished to land a sick man, and a local fishing boat took him and the skipper ashore. At 5.30 the life-boat J. and W.

was launched in a moderate sea with a light north-easterly breeze blowing.

She took the skipper back to his ship and reached her station again at 6.45.
