Felicity and Winifred

Bridlington, Yorkshire.—At 6.22 in the evening of the 12th of September, 1949, the coastguard telephoned that the local fishing vessel Felicity was over- due. At 8 o'clock he reported that she could be seen broken down two miles south-east by east of Mappleton. At 8.27 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield, was launched in a moderate easterly breeze with a heavy swell.

She found the Felicity in tow of the fishing boat Winifred, and at the Winifred's request escorted both vessels to harbour, arriving back at her station at 1.20 next morning.—Rewards, £14.-.
