Bridlington,* Yorkshire.—On the morning of the 17th January the motor fishing boat Peggy left Bridlington harbour to fish about eight miles out.

Later a gale sprang up from the S.S.E.

and the sea became rough. At 2.45 P.M.

the Peggy was seen making for home.

The sea was very heavy and breaking dangerously across the harbour entrance, and at 3 P.M., the motor life.boat Stanhope Smart was launched.

She poured oil on the sea to lessen the effect of the waves, and then escorted the Peggy safely into harbour. She returned to her station at 4.20 P.M. A Southport lady sent £10 to be distributed among the life-boatmen in admiration of their work.—Rewards, £10 4s. 6d..
