On 20th October several of the local fishing boats put out at three in the morning. A moderate N.E. gale came up, with a rough sea, and by 5.30 A.M. the weather was so bad that it was decided to launch the Motor Life-boat Margaret Harker Smith. Meeting the Golden Gate the Life-boat stood by her until she reached safety, and then, at intervals, escorted home the Faith, Irene and Noel II. As the Fortunatus was still out at sea, the Life-boat was kept in readiness, but by the time she arrived, it was impossible for her to make the harbour, so she made for Scarborough, where she was met by the Scarborough Motor Life- boat, and escorted into safety.—Re- wards, £12 8s. 3d..
