Whitby, Yorkshire.—At about 2 P.M.

on the 23rd January, 1939, a gale was blowing from the N.N.W. with a heavy sea. The motor fishing boat Pilot Me was at sea and as she did not return the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 3.20 P.M.

She found her about a mile and a half to the north and escorted her through the broken water to the harbour. The life-boat took one tremendous sea, which buried her from stem to stern.— Rewards, £8 5s. 6d..
