Whitby, Yorkshire.—About eight in the evening of the 20th of May, 1948, the local motor fishing vessel Galilee— which was out fishing and had in- tended staying at sea throughout the night—wirelessed that she would be returning to harbour. Reply was made that it would not be possible for her to enter before eleven o'clock owing to the state of tide and the rough sea. A moderate north-east breeze was blowing, the sea was rough and visibility was very bad. When the Galilee was sighted, a rocket was fired to keep her off until the No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hep-worth put out. The life-boat was launched at 10.40, met the Galilee at the Rock Buoy, and escorted her into harbour, returning to her station at midnight.—Rewards, £6 17s..
