MAY 1ST. - ST. ABBS, BERWICKSHIRE.

At eight in the evening the St. Abbs Head signal station telephoned that a boat was apparently stationary about ten miles westnorth- west of St. Abbs Head. The weather was fine, but as the boat was thought to be one which was known to have difficulties with her engine, the motor life-boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest was launched at 8.7. She found the boat, formerly a naval pinnace, drifting out to sea with a crew of two. Her engine had broken down. The life-boat towed her to St. Abbs, arriving at eleven that night. - Rewards, £13 5s..
