Whitby, Yorkshire.—At 9.50 on the night of the 20th of April, 1948, the local motor fishing boat Provider, which had put out earlier to attend to crab pots, wirelessed for the life-boat.

The No. 2. pulling and sailing life-boat Robert and Ellen Robson was launched at once. A light easterly breeze was blowing, but there was a heavy ground swell. The life-boat found the fishing boat with a governor spring on her engine broken. She escorted her into harbour, arriving back at her station at 11.45.—Rewards, £10 18s..
