Pioneer
Flamborough, Yorkshire.—During bad weather on the morning of the 2nd January, 1939, it was reported that one of the local motor fishing cobles was at sea. A N.E. gale was blowing, with a very rough sea and squalls of sleet. The motor life-boat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley was launched at 10.50 A.M., and found the coble, the Pioneer, with a crew of three, about one and a half miles north of North Landing. She had just cut away from her gear. The life-boat went alongside and life-belts were thrown to the fishermen. She then escorted her in. The life-boat returned to her station at noon.—Rewards, £15 13s..
