Flamborough, Yorkshire. — On the morning of the 22nd April, 1939, a heavy N.N.W. gale sprang up while the fishing fleet was at sea. Several boats landed with difficulty and it was decided to send out the motor life-boat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley. She put off in a very rough sea at 9.55 A.M. with the second coxswain in charge. The coble Britannia was found about two miles to the northward and escorted back to safety. The life-boat then went to Flamborough Head to search for the remaining cobles. They were not to be seen, so she ran round the head and found that they had arrived safely at the south landing. The lifeboat returned to her station at midday.
