JUNE 19TH. - BLYTH, NORTHUMBERLAND.

At 2.23 P.M the coastguard reported a fishing boat showing signals of distress off Newbiggin. As the Newbiggin life-boat was off service, the Blyth motor life-boat Joseph Adlam was launched at 2.40 P.M.

A light but increasing S.W. wind was blowing, with a choppy sea. Five miles N.E. of Blyth the life-boat found the motor fishing boat Two Sisters, with a crew of three. She was unable to make home against the increasing wind. The life-boat towed her to Newbiggin and returned to her station, arriving at 5 P.M. - Rewards, £5 1s..
