Tynemouth, Northumberland - At 11.25 a.m. on I2th May, 1967, it was learned that the coble Guiding Light with a man and a young boy on board was overdue from a fishing trip. The coastguard searched to the limit of visibility but could not see the coble. The life-boat Tynesider was therefore launched at 11.45.

There was a moderate to fresh northerly breeze and a corresponding sea. It was half an hour before low water. The lifeboat carried out a search assisted by a dredger and the coble was found by the life-boat four miles north east of the Tyne. Her owner was still hauling lines and was escorted back to harbour, arriving at the fish quay at 1.55 p.m.

The Life-boat reached her station at 2.5..
