Brighter Dawn

DECEMBER 7TH. - BOULMER, NORTHUMBERLAND.

At daybreak five motor fishing cobles put out lobster fishing. They had not been away very long when the southerly wind increased and the seas became heavy. Two of the cobles got back safely.

Two made for the shelter of Boulmer Head.

The fifth, the Brighter Dawn, attempted to get in, but so heavy was the broken water that she stood out to sea again, and at 10.20 in the morning the motor life-boat Clarissa Langdon was launched. She escorted the Brighter Dawn to Amble Harbour, arriving there just before noon, and reached her station again at one o’clock. - Rewards, £9 16s..
