Newbiggin, Northumberland. At 2.55 p.m. on I3th January, 1965, the honorary secretary told the coxswain to launch the life-boat and escort two cobles Mary Robinson and Eventide to safety as there was fear for their general well being owing to worsening sea conditions and gale force southerly winds. The life-boat Richard Ashley was launched at 3.6 and contacted the Mary Robinson outside Newbiggin Bay and finding her in no immediate danger contacted the Blyth life-boat so as to keep a close watch as she proceeded to Blyth. The Newbiggin life-boat having contacted Eventide escorted her back to Newbiggin..
