For which Rewards were given at the February, March and April Meetings of the Committee of Management.

Bridlington, Yorkshire. — At about 7 A.M. on the morning of the llth January a man was badly injured on board the fishing boat Gloamin'. There was not sufficient water for her to get into harbour and she made distress signals. The sea was rough, with a strong S.S.E. wind blowing. The crew of the motor life-boat were assembled, but before she was got away, nine men had launched the motor vessel Mizpah.

They brought the injured man ashore, at some risk, as their boat might have struck the bar and come to grief.— Rewards, £4 10s., and 8s. for fuel used.

North Sunderland, Northumberland.

—At about 2.45 P.M. on the 31st January four men put off in the motor fishing boat Faithful, to go to the help of the fishing boat Favourite, which, with a crew of four, had broken down at the fishing grounds ten miles to the south-east. The weather was hazy and very cold, with a strong and increasing northerly wind, and the sea was be- coming heavy. The danger would be great for both boats if they did not return before dark, for the salvors' motor was not powerful enough for towing in bad weather. The Boulmer motor life- boat was called out, but her services were not required, for about 5.45 P.M.

the Faithful returned with the disabled boat in tow.—Rewards, £3, and 7s.

for fuel used.

Arbroath, Angus.—On the afternoon of the 17th January the local motor fishing boat Agnes and Betsy, which had gone fishing at Bell Rock, was reported missing. A whole W.S.W. gale was blowing and the sea was very heavy.

The motor life-boat was launched at 2.30 P.M. and searched without result.

She put out again at 4.30 and at the same time ten men put out in the motor fishing boat Ben Venuto to help in the search. The life-boat went south-east, and the Ben Venuto went in a northerly direction and found the Agnes and Betsy about seven miles off the Red Head. Her engines had been flooded and stopped by heavy seas; she was water- logged ; and her crew of four were quite exhausted. At considerable risk the rescuers got her in tow and made for Arbroath. When nearing harbour they fell in with the life-boat which escorted them safely in. The Ben Venuto was occupied for three hours in the rescue. Rewards, £14 5s., and £1 to- wards the cost of fuel used. (For awards to the life-boat's crew see page 262.) Whitegate, Co. Cork.—On the after- noon of the 24th May, 1933, with a strong north-westerly breeze blowing, and a rough sea, a lighter which was unloading a collier off Whitegate capsized, throwing four men and two tons of coal into the water. Sergeant J. Mulvey, of the Civic Guard, and two Naval pensioners saw the accident, rushed for a small boat which was along- side the quay, and put out to the rescue.

At great risk to themselves, in the rough sea, they succeeded in getting hold of the four men, but their boat was too small to take them all aboard.

Fortunately, another boat, manned by four men, arrived, and with its help the four rescued men were brought safely ashore. Rewards : To Sergeant Mulvey, the leader of the rescue, whose action was the braver since he cannot swim, an inscribed silver watch; to each of the two Naval pensioners, Messrs. John and David Foley, a framed letter of thanks and £1; and 7s. 6d. each to the four men in the second rescue boat..
