Whitby, Yorkshire.—At 8.30 in the morning on the 24th of February, 1950, fishermen reported that one of sixfishing vessels which had put out in the early hours, was making for harbour.

The sea off the entrance was broken and a gale was blowing from the north.

At 9.5 the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworih was launched, but the Pro- vider A, decided to wait. The life- boat, therefore, first escorted in the Galilee, and then the Provider A. Later she attended the Venus, Pilot Me II, Success, and Express into harbour, reaching her station again at 2.30 that afternoon.—Rewards, £16 15s..
