Newbiggin, Northumberland - At 3.33 p.m. on 2ist June, 1967, it was learned that a dinghy had capsized.

Although it had been righted there was no sign of movement from the crew. The life-boat Mary jfoicey was launched at 3.35 in a moderate breeze and a slight sea. The tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the dinghy and found two youths clinging to the gunwales. They were taken on board the life-boat and a third person, who was about 200 yards away, was also rescued. A doctor and an ambulance were waiting to meet the lifeboat when she returned. The life-boat, which later towed in the dinghy, finally returned to her station at 5 o'clock..
