Pioneer

Flamborough, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 16th January a moderate S.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea, sleet and rain. A fisherman reported that the local fishing coble Pioneer was at sea, and the No. 1 motor life-boat Elizabeth and AUrina Whitley was launched at 10.15 A.M.

She met the Pioneer about three miles north, escorted her to the safety of the landing, and returned to her station at 12.15 P.M.—Rewards, £14 13s..
