SEPTEMBER 28TH. - NEWBIGGIN, NORTHUMBERLAND. A very strong N.N.E. wind was blowing, with a very heavy and rough sea, and as six local fishing cobles were out, the life-boat Augustus and Laura was launched at 10.40 A.M. She met five of the cobles, escorted them to safety, and went, out again to search for the sixth. Aeroplanes joined in the search and it continued until 3 P.M. The life-boat returned to refuel. She put out again, but found nothing, and returned at 5.25 P.M. Before she could be put on her carriage news came that something resembling a small boat had been seen off Cresswell. For the third time the life-boat went out, but again found nothing. The coble and her crew of three were lost. It was 7.35 P.M. before she finally returned. It had been a long and arduous service for the lifeboatmen and for the women launchers.- Rewards, £26 16s.
