N 1838 during a terrific storm the steamer Forfarshire was wrecked off the Farne Islands, and but for the courage of a man and his daughter there would have been no survivors from the wreck. The man was the Outer-Farne lighthouse keeper and his daughter was the immortal Grace Darling. They set out in a coble (a kind of fishing boat) in the heavy sea and were able to rescue four men and a woman. The story of Grace Darling will be heard in the ZB series "Women of Courage,’ to be broadcast from 3ZB on Friday, January 21, at 9.15 p.m. From 1ZB in the same series will be heard the story of Anne Bonney, from 2ZB Caroline Chisholm, and from 4ZB Lilian Bayliss.
