SEPTEMBER 6TH. - BERWICK - ON - TWEED, NORTHUMBERLAND. At 11.41 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that a small pulling boat was in difficulties 2 1/2 miles S.E. from Berwick Pier, and the motor life-boat J. and W. was launched at 11.45. A strong squally wind from the W.N.W. was blowing, with a moderate sea.

The life-boat found that the boat belonged to No. 310 coastal battery, at Spittal. She had six men on board, and had been laying targets for gunnery practice. The life-boat took the six men on board, and with their small boat in tow, returned to Berwick, where she arrived at one in the afternoon. - Rewards, £4 4s.
