TWICE IN TWO DAYS Whitby, Yorkshire.—, Shortly before mid-day on the 14th of November, 1947, the owner of the local fishing vessel Pilot Me reported that he had been told by wireless that her engine had failed. He had some new bolts being- made for the engine, and they were nearly ready. As soon as they were ready the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched. It was then 12.30 and a fresh west-north-west wind was blowing with a heavy swell.

The life-boat found the Pilot Me drifting about six miles north-east of Skinningrove, transferred the new bolts to her by line and then took her in tow while the crew were carrying out the repairs. They were done before harbour was reached and the Pilot Me was able to go under her own power, the life-boat escorting her. They ar- rived at Whitby at 4.45 that afternoon.
