FEBRUARY 10TH. - BLYTH, NORTHUMBERLAND.

About 10.45 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that a fishing boat was in difficulties half a mile east of Blyth pier, and at eleven o’clock the motor life-boat Joseph Adlam was launched. A strong squally westerly wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. She found the motor boat Tiger Lily, of Blyth, with a crew of six.

Her engine had failed, and, although her anchor was down, she was driving rapidly out to sea. The life-boat took her in tow and brought her into Blyth at noon. - Rewards, £7 11s..
