Whitby, Yorkshire.—At about 9 A.M.

on the 25th April the motor fishing coble Enterprize, with a crew of three, put to sea. A stiff breeze was blowing, and the sea was moderate. During the morning the sea rose rapidly, and made the entrance to the harbour very dangerous for a small coble. At about 11.30 A.M. the Enterprize was seen about three miles northward, and the No. 2 pulling and sailing life-boat, Jacob and Rachael Vallentine, put out to meet her.

When rowing out of the harbour the life-boat shipped some big seas, and an oar was broken. She lay to for about half an hour and then rowed out, met the Enterprize, and handed life-belts to her crew. She escorted her safely into harbour, and returned to her station at 1.45 P.M.—Rewards, £8 18s..
