Whitby, Yorkshire. — During the afternoon of the 15th of September, 1948, a sudden storm sprang up and the local fishing fleet returned to har- bour, but the motor fishing coble Helena did not arrive, and about 3.45 the coastguard telephoned that she was two miles to the northward. The No. 1 motor life-boat Mary Ann Hepworih was launched at once, in a strong northerly breeze with a rough sea, passed life-belts to the Helena's crew, and escorted the coble into har- bour, arriving back at her station at half past four.—Rewards, £6 7.9. 6d..
