Brighter Dawn, Cathleen and Golden Gleam

Boulmer, Northumberland.—At 9.3 on the morning of the 9th of September, 1954, a man at Alnmouth reported that the fishing cobles Brighter Dawn, Cath- leen, and Golden Gleam, of Boulmer, appeared to be in difficulties in Aln- mouth Bay. At 9.15 the life-boat Clarissa Langdon was launched. The sea was rough and a strong breeze was blowing from the south-east. The life- boat made for the position in a flood tide, escorted the cobles to Boulmer, and reached her station again at ten o'clock.—Rewards, £10 Is. 6d..
