MCH. 15TH. - AMBLE, NORTHUMBERLAND.

The motor life-boat Frederick andEmma, which was placed at Amble when that life-boat station was reopened at the beginning of 1939, received her first service call at 8.30 A.M. She put out to the help of the fishing cobles Providence and Children’s Friend, of Amble, which had been seen to be in difficulties. A moderate northerly wind was blowing, with a heavy swell. The lifeboat went first to the Providence and escorted her into harbour. She then put out again to the Children’s Friend, but found that the boat had been beached at Alnmouth. The life-boat returned to her station at 10.45 A.M.
