Just Reward

Boulmer, Northumberland. At 10.4 on the morning of the 21st July, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary sec- retary that a coble had been seen flying a distress signal two and a half miles east of Boulmer. At 10.24 the life-boat Clarissa Langdon was launched one hour after high water in a light northerly breeze and a choppy sea. She found the coble Just Reward drifting, with her engine out of action, and towed her into Craster, where she was secured.

The life-boat reached her station at 1.20..
