OCTOBER 26TH. - AMBLE, NORTHUMBERLAND.

At 8.20 in the morning a message came from the senior naval officer, through the Blyth coastguard, that the Admiralty patrol vessel Robina Ingles appeared to be in difficulties. She was at anchor on a lee shore N.E. of Amble harbour, and a N.E. gale was blowing, with a heavy swell. At 8.45 the motor life-boat Frederick and Emma was launched and went alongside the Robina Ingles. In doing so she damaged her bow. While she was rescuing the crew of four, the cable parted and the Robina Ingles began to drift on to the rocks. This made the rescue very difficult, but the four men had been taken off before the vessel struck the rocks, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 9.40 A.M. - Rewards, £7 12s..
