Runswick, Yorkshire.—Early in the morning of the 18th February six Staithes fishing cobles put off to the fishing grounds. The' weather was then fine, but there was a strong swell running. The southerly wind rose from a strong breeze to gale force, and the sea became so rough that it would be a danger to the cobles to enter harbour again. The motor life-boat Robert Patton—The Always Beady was launched at about 9 A.M. Two of the cobles did not attempt to get into Staithes and made for Runswick, where conditions were easier. Theother four took the risk and the lifeboat escorted them through broken water into harbour. She returned to her station at 1.30 P.M.—Rewards, £15 6s. 6d..
