Fife's Own

The motor fishing boat Fife's Own put to sea on the night of the 16th July for long line fishing. The weather changed, and by noon next day a strong N.N.E. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea and rain.

A watch was kept for the boat and she was seen about 5 miles E.N.E. of Scarborough. As it was dangerous for her to attempt the harbour crossing alone, the Motor Life-boat Herbert Joy II. was launched at 3.30 P.M., fell in with her about two miles oft and escorted her safely into harbour.—Rewards, £13 10s..
