Nancy Dennis and Britannia

Flamborough, Yorkshire.—At 7.30 A.M.

on the 30th May, 1938, a north gale sprang up, bringing a rough sea.

Several of the local fishing cobles were at sea, and the No. 1 motor life-boat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley was launched at 8 A.M., in case her help should be needed. She met the Nancy two miles to the south-east, escorted her in, and then went back in the same direction and escorted in the Dennis.

A third coble, the Brittania, she found about three miles N.N.W., escorted her in, and returned to her station at 12.10 P.M.—Rewards, £9 2s..
