Scarborough, Yorkshire.—During the afternoon of the 12th March the weather got very bad, and several of the local boats at sea returned to harbour. One boat, the Margaret, was still to come, and the motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched, at 4.35 P.M. A moderate E.S.E. breeze was then blowing, with a very rough sea, and visibility was poor, owing to heavy rain. After the life-boat had been at sea for half an hour the coastguard signalled that the Margaret was approaching. The lifeboat met her about a mile to the N.E., escorted her safely into harbour, and returned to her station at 5.40 P.M.
