F i v e minutes later the motor life-boat Westmorland was launched in a south-westerly breeze, with a choppy sea. She found the motor boat Salvenio, of North Shields, six miles eastnorth- east of Tynemouth. Her engine had broken down and she was drifting. The four on board were baling hard to prevent her from sinking. The life-boat towed her to Cullercoats, arriving at 6.40. - Rewards, £11 7s.
