Whitby, Yorkshire.—When the life- boat reached harbour at 8.15 on the morning of the 7th of May, 1949, with the fishing-boat Prosperity and the yacht Red Rover, she was told by the coastguard that three other local fishing boats were approaching the harbour, and she remained afloat. Meanwhile, the Prosperity put out again for the fishing grounds in the hope of saving her crab pots. Later the life-boat escorted her, and the other three fishing boats, at varying intervals, through the broken water at the harbour entrance, and finally returned to her station at 1.15 that afternoon.—Rewards, £11 17s. 6d..
