The following account of a service was omitted in error from the December 1960 number of the Life-boat.

Boulmer, Northumberland. At 5.4 on the morning of the 2nd of August, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a seine-net vessel was ashore at Dunstanborough Point and listing heavily. The life-boat Clarissa Langdon was launched at 5.32 in a light north-north-westerly breeze and a smooth sea. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat took a line from the vessel, which was the Boy Allan, and pulled her clear on the flood tide. The Boy Allan then continued on her passage to South Shields, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 7.25.

In the December 1960 number of the Life-boat it was stated on page 565 that Mr. Laurence McCann had served as assistant mechanic of the Howth life- boat for 5J years. This should have read 15 years..
