Scarborough fishing vessels, which were outside, had to bear up .and run for the harbour at Scarborough. Vessels which ; fall to leeward when rounding the Pier- ! end under such circumstances are placed ! in great danger, as they are quickly in the j midst of broken water. The Life-boat j Lady Leigh was therefore launched and lay in readiness near the scene of danger, watching the different vessels as they shot into shelter round the bend of the breakwater. At 2.30 P.M. the smack Mary Ann, after throwing a rope to the Pier- end, parted it, and was swiftly on the edge of the breakers. Fortunately the Life-boat at once made a dash at her with, a line, and thus saved vessel and crew of 9 men from extreme peril..
