Bridlington, Yorkshire.—At half pa^t one in the afternoon on the 9th of November, 1949, the coxswain reported that .the local motor fishing vessel Mizpah, with a crew of four, had not returned from the fishing grounds.

Weather conditions were worsening and it was decided to send out the life-boat, Tillie Morrison, Sheffield. She left at 2.7 in a rough sea with a strong south- erly breeze blowing, and rain squalls, and met the Mizpah in the bay.

Spreading oil on the s- as, the life-boat escorted her into harbour, and then returned to her station, arriving at 3.45.—Rewards, £9 8s..
