A French Motor Life-Boat

JANUARY 26TH. - BRIDLINGTON, YORKSHIRE. A French motor life-boat bound for Bridlington for service as a rescue boat under the Admiralty had been disabled by her engine breaking down. The life-boat passed quite close to her in the darkness, but her crew thought the sound of the lifeboat’s engine was an enemy seaplane and they would not signal. The life-boat did not find her, and the boat went ashore without injury to her crew of four. - Rewards, 24 7s. 6d.
