Filey, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 19th April, 1938, the local fishing-boats were caught at sea by bad weather. Several came in, but eight were still at sea. Another boat came in and reported that conditions were getting worse, and at 8.30 A.M.

the pulling and sailing life'-boat Thomas Masterman Hardy was launched. A squally north breeze was blowing, with a heavy sea. The life-boat escorted the remaining boats into safety and returned to her station at 10.40 A.M.— Rewards, £12 14*..
