Scarborough, Yorkshire. — The local motor fishing coble Comrade was expected in from sea some tune after noon on the 30th January, 1938, and as she did not come, anxiety was felt for her safety. A N.N.W. gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched at 12.20 P.M., and saw the Comrade about three miles to the N.N.E., flying a signal of distress. She had had trouble with her engine, and her sail had been blown away. Life-belts were passed to her crew of two, and the life-boat towed her into harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 1.80 P.M.— Rewards, £19 9s..
