Whitby, Yorkshire On the 13th January the Whitby motor fishing vessel Provider went to Bridlington for repairs to her capstan. Nothing was heard of her all day and, as the sea was making, enquiries were madeat 9.30 P.M. It was learnt that she had left Bridlington for home at 6 P.M.

It was not safe for a boat to enter the harbour, and a light could be seen approaching. The motor life-boat Margaret Harker Smith put out. She burnt a red flare as a warning, but the Provider still came on. The fishing boat took a very heavy sea, but succeeded in getting in, with the lifeboat in attendance. A heavy double sea also struck the life-boat and filled her, nearly washing the mechanics overboard, but fortunately they were not badly hurt.—Rewards, f 16 7s..
