Seahani, Co. Durham. At five o'clock on the afternoon of the 25th September, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small fishing boat Silver Spray had broken down with engine trouble. The life-boat George Elmy was launched at 5.15 in a moderate south-westerly breeze and amoderate swell. It was high water. The life-boat rescued the fishing boat's crew of four and took the boat in tow, arriv- ing at her station at 6.36..
