Scarborough, Yorkshire.—At 7.50 A.M.

on the 17th March, 1939, the life-boat coxswain noticed that the local motor fishing boat Hyperion, which was making for harbour, did not dare attempt to get in. A strong N.E. gale was blowing, with a very rough sea.

The motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched at 8 A.M., reached the Hyperion about one and a half miles tothe N.E. and escorted her to harbour.— Rewards, £19 5s. Qd..
