Whitby, Yorkshire.—The local fishing boat Success, which had been out fishing all night, enquired by wireless at nine in the morning of the 20th cf May, 1948, what the condition was at the "harbour mouth. She was told that if she came in she would need an escort. She replied that she would be off Whitby about eleven o'clock. At ten o'clock the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Ilepivorih was launched. A strong north-north- west breeze was then blowing with a heavy sea. The life-boat met the Success two miles north of Whitby Rock Buoy, escorted her through the rough sea at the harbour mouth, and returned to her station at 11.20.—Rewards, £6 9s..
