The Motor Fishing Coble Onward
OCT. 4TH. - BOULMER, NORTHUMBERLAND.
At 9.45 A.M. the Craster coastguard reported that the motor fishing coble Onward was disabled a mile off the harbour. A strong E.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea.
At 9.57 A.M. the motor life-boat Clarissa Langdon was launched. The life-boat came in towards the Cullernose Watch Station, which semaphored to her that the coble had reached harbour. On her way back the lifeboat fell in with three fishing cobles of Amble, and as the weather was very bad off Boulmer Steel she escorted them to Amble. She returned to her station at 1.5 P.M. - Rewards, £9 10s.
