Flamborough, Yorkshire. — On the morning of the 17th of December, 1949, the local fishing coble Brittania, manned by a crew of three, was at sea. It was very rough and there was a north- westerly gale; conditions were so bad in fact, that it was decided to send out the life-boat. The Howard D was launched at 9.40, and found the coble about six miles to the north-east, when the fishermen had just finished hauling in their gear. The coble set out for home, but as her engine broke down, the life-boat took her in tow and brought her to Flamborough, arriving at half past twelve in the afternoon.
