On the morning of the 5th December, the motor fishing coble Primrose, of Whitby, was seen to be in difficulties about a mile E.S.E.

from Whitby Rock Buoy, and,the Motor Life-boat Margaret Marker Smith was launched at 11.25 A.M. A strong N.N.W. breeze was blowing. The sea was rough and increasing. The Life- boat found the Primrose at anchor with her engine flooded, and towed her into harbour with her crew of three. There were ten fishing vessels still at sea, so the Life-boat remained afloat and later escorted them all into safety. She arrived back at her station at 2.45 P.M.
