Filey, Yorkshire.—At~7.30 A.M. on the 25th March, 1939, the life-boat coxswain reported that three fishing cobles were out north of the Brig. The weather was bad, with heavy snow and showers, and it was decided to keep a look-out. Later the weather became worse and at 8.50 A.M. the pulling and sailing life-boat Thomas Masterman Hardy was launched. A rough sea was then running, with a strong N.E. wind.

The life-boat escorted the boats to safety and returned to her station at 12.15 P.M.—Rewards, £16 25..
