The number, Yorkshire. — At 6.45 in the evening of the 7th of July, 1948, the Donna Nook coastguard reported a yacht firing red rockets two and a half miles east of Donna Nook, and at 7 o'clock the motor life-boat Milburn, on temporary duty at the station, was launched. She searched in a light north-easterly breeze with a smooth sea and found the motor yacht Dawn Patrol, of Brough, at anchor with her engine broken down. She was in no immediate danger but the crew of two asked for a tow, as they -wished to spend the night ashore. The life-boat took the Dawn Patrol in tow, moored her off Spurn Point and returned to her station with the yacht's crew at 9.45.
