Quest and Prosperity

Flamborough, Yorkshire.—During the afternoon of the 13th of January, 1948, the wind increased to a west- north-west gale while several fishing cobles were at sea, and at three o'clock the motor life-boat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley was launched in a very rough sea to escort in the cobles Quest and Prosperity. The Quest was only half a mile away, and she was soon safe in the haven, but the 'Prosperity was three miles north-east of Flamborough Head, and it was half past four before she got home, attended by the life-boat.— Rewards, £15 4s..
