Runswick, Yorkshire.—At about 7 A.M. on the 20th May, 1938, the Staithes fishing fleet put to sea. The weather was fine, but a moderate sea was running. A moderate north breeze sprang up, and the sea became very heavy near Staithes harbour, breaking right across the entrance. The Runswick motor life-boat Robert Patton— The Always Ready was launched at 10.15 A.M. and escorted the fishing boats through the broken water into harbour. She returned to her station at 1 P.M.—Rewards, £10 4s..
