Courage

Scarborough, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 7th of November, 1948, the local fishing boat Courage, with a crew of five, was overtaken by bad •weather. The sea was rough in the bay and at the harbour entrance, and when, just before noon, the coastguard reported that the Courage was approach- ing, the motor life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched. A strong east-south- east breeze was then blowing, with heavy breaking seas. The life-boat found the Courage three miles north- east of Castle Hill, escorted her in, and arrived back at her station at 1.30 that afternoon.—Rewards, £15 16s. 6d..
