Scarborough, Yorkshire. — Two days later the Hilda was again in need of help. At 5 o'clock in the evening of the 19th of January, 1949, the coast- guard telephoned that she was overdue, and later reported that a trawler was standing by a fishing boat six miles to the north-east. The life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched at 5.50, in a west- south-west breeze, with a moderate sea. She found the Hilda, which had run out of petrol, in tow of the steam trawler Kudos, took over the tow and arrived back at 7.20.—Rewards, £17..
