THE WHTTBY FISHING BOATS AGAIN Whitby, Yorkshire.—In the early morning of the 30th of April, 1947, several fishing boats put out to move their crab-pots into deep water as stormy weather was pending. About 10.30 two of the boats were seen returning, and a third one, the Pros- perity, was expected. She was seen three miles oft at eleven o'clock making slow progress, and as a northerly gale was blowing with a heavy swell the motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at 11.30. She escorted the Prosperity into harbour and returned to her station at 12.30 in the afternoon.
