TWO MEN RESCUED FROM FISHING BOAT Blyth, Northumberland. At 3.46 on the afternoon of the 4th November, 1962, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a message had been received from the east pier lighthouse keeper that two men in a small fishing boat were signalling for help near Crablow rocks. Nine minutes later the life-boat Winston Churchill (Civil Service No. 8) was launched. There was a light southerly breeze and a rough sea, and the tide was flooding. The lifeboat searched and found the local fishing boat Linda M., with a crew of two, close to the Sow and Pig rocks in a dangerous position. She rescued the two men, put a member of her crew on board and towed the boat to Blyth harbour, which was reached at 5.15..
