AUGUST 29TH. - AMBLE, NORTHUMBERLAND.

At 6.12 in the evening the coastguard reported that a motor boat was making distress signals three miles east of Cresswell village. A strong south-easterly breeze was blowing, with a heavy sea. The motor life-boat Frederick and Emma was launched at 6.40 and found the motor boat White Heather II, sinking. She had a man and a boy on hoard. A life-boatman boarded her and secured a tow rope. It broke twice when the life-boat started towing, but slowly she brought the motor boat into the harbour, arriving at nine that night. - Rewards, £7 12s.
