DECEMBER 2ND. - CULLERCOATS, NORTHUMBERLAND.

During the afternoon two small fishing boats were overtaken by bad weather. A strong westerly wind, increasing to gale force, was blowing, and the sea was rough. They were both rowing boats. One reached harbour, but the other, with two men on board, could make no headway, and the motor life-boat Westmorland was launched at 4.15. She found the boat, the Star, off Sharpness Point and towed her into harbour at 5.35. - Rewards, £24 0s. 6d..
