NETS WERE FAST Boulmer, Northumberland. At 10.50 a.m. on lyth August, 1964, the coxswain asked the honorary secretary if the local fishing coble Seaflower needed help and the honorary secretary kept watch on the boat in Alnmouth bay. She appeared to be in difficulties and at 11.18 the life-boat Robert and Dorothy Hardcastle was launched. There was a light east-southeast wind, the sea was moderate, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat found that the Seaflower'?, nets were fast, helped the crew of two remove them, and escorted the coble to Boulmer by 1.5 p.m..
