The Motor Fishing Boats Pilot Me and Provider

Whitby, Yorkshire.—As the tide ebbed during the afternoon of the 8th April, 1938, a rough sea began to break heavily outside the pier ends, making the harbour entrance dangerous. • A strong N.

breeze was blowing. The motor fishing boats Pilot Me and Provider were at sea, and at 4.30 P.M., when they were seen coming in, the motor life-boat Margaret Harker Smith put out. She escorted the boats into harbour and returned to her station at 6 P.M.— Rewards, £6 8s..
