Rosemary and Hilda II

Scarborough, Yorkshire.—At 8.25 in the morning of the 9th of February, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that, as the weather was freshening, anxiety was felt for the safety of the fishing cobles Rosemary and Hilda II which had left the harbour at daybreak, and at 8.40 the life-boat Herbert Joy It was launched. A south-south-east gale was then blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found the cobles off the Castle Hill, escorted them to the harbour and put out again to search for any other fishing boats. None was found and the life-boat reached her station again at 11.40.—Rewards, £18 10s..
