Boulmer, Northumberland - At 4 p.m. on 22nd February, 1967, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that two cobles from Boulmer were overdue.

The life-boat Robert and Dorothy Hardcastle was launched at 4.21 in a light south easterly wind and a choppy sea.

It was three hours after high water. She proceeded and came up with the coble Lorna Cordelia about a mile and a half to the north of Boulmer. After ascertaining that she was not in difficulties, the life-boat continued searching on a northerly course and found the coble Jaqueline Stevenson two and a half miles north of Boulmer. The life-boat escorted both vessels into Boulmer harbour, and returned to her station at 4.50..
