La Mariole

Bridlington, Yorkshire. — At 9.45 in the morning of the 30th of October, 1948, a fishing vessel off the pier was seen to burn a flare, and at 10.15 the motor life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield, was launched. She found the local motor fishing vessel La Mariole, with her rudder steering rod broken. The life-boat brought a man ashore with the rod to get it repaired, stood by the vessel, and then took the man back with the repaired rod. La Mariole then went on her way, and the life-boat returned to her station at 11.45.—Rewards, £10 13s. 6d..
