JULY 2ND. - BOULMER, NORTHUMBERLAND.

At 10.30 at night the coastguard telephoned that a Danish fishing boat was lying two miles north-north-east of Cullernose Point, apparently in need of help.

The motor life-boat Clarissa Langdon was launched at eleven o’clock in a light southerly wind and a smooth sea. She found the seine net fishing boat Elna, of Esbjerg, at anchor.

Mr. William S. Stanton, the honorary secretary of the life-boat station, went aboard and learned that the boat had run out of fuel.

Her skipper and mate had gone ashore in the ship’s boat, leaving only one man on board.

Two life-boatmen joined him. It was then found that the anchor was fouling the rudder.

It was cut away and the life-boat towed the fishing boat into Craster Harbour at 2.30 next morning. Here the skipper and mate were picked up and put on board again. The life-boat then returned to her station, arriving at 3.30. - Rewards, £28 13s..
