Peggy

Bridlington, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 13th December, 1937, when the weather was bad, it was learned that the local motor fishing boat Peggy was at sea. Soon after 1.30 P.M. the coastguard reported that she was rounding Flamborough Head, and making heavy weather. A moderate S.S.E. gale was then blowing, with a very heavy sea. The motor life-boat Stanhope Smart was launched at 1.35 P.M., met the Peggy and escorted her into safety. She returned to her station at 3 P.M.—Rewards, £9 18s..
