Provider
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..
