Pilot Me (1)

Whitby, Yorkshire. — In the early morning of the 15th of November, 1947, several fishing vessels had put to sea in moderate weather, but wind and sea increased, the boats returned, and by 7.30 all had got safely into har- bour except the Pilot Me. At 7.40 the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hep- worth was launched. A north-north- west gale was then blowing, with a very heavy sea. The life-boat went out to meet the "Pilot Me, and escorted her through the dangerous seas at the harbour entrance, returning to her station at 8.45.—Rewards, £7 4s..
