Mary

Filey, Yorkshire.—As darkness was gathering on the evening of the 26th of September, 1949, there was some anxiety felt for the safety of the fishing coble Mary which, with a crew of three, had been due in at noon. At 7.25 the life-boat The Cuttle was launched in a slight sea with a light westerly breeze blowing. She came up with the Mary between two and three miles north-west by north of Filey Brigg and escorted her to the shore, arriving back at her station at 8.20.—Rewards, £12 2s..
