Whitby, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 15th November, 1937, the local motor fishing boats Noel II, Venus, Galillee, Pilot Me and Success were caught at sea by bad weather.

When they were seen approaching harbour the sea was rough and breaking heavily outside the entrance, and a fresh N.N.W. breeze was blowing.

The No. 1 motor life-boat Margaret Harker Smith was launched at 10.55 AM., escorted the boats into harbour, and returned to her station at 12.45 P.M.— Rewards, £8 11s..
