Runswick, Yorkshire. — Four fishing cobles put to sea in moderate weather at 7 A.M. on the 31st December, 1937.

Later on, conditions got bad, and by 10.45 A.M. a moderate gale was blowing from the N.N E., with a rough sea.

It was decided to send out the motor life-boat Robert Patton—The Always Ready, and she was launched at 11 A.M.

She stood by and escorted the cobles into safety, and did not get back to her station until 5 P.M. — Rewards, £15 6s. 6d..
