JUNE 6TH. - TYNEMOUTH, NORTHUMBERLAND.

At 5.32 P.M. the South Shields coastguard reported that three boys were marooned on rocks. The tide was half flood, and the weather fine, with a slight sea.

A motor boat in charge of the acting coxswain was immediately sent out and the motor life-boat John Pyemont followed at 6.5 P.M. with the honorary secretary, Mr. E.

Selby Davidson, on board. The boys were rescued by the motor boat and transferred to the life-boat, which then took the motor boat in tow. Forty minutes after putting out the life-boat landed the boys at Tyne Dock.- Rewards, £3 9S..
