Whitby, Yorkshire. — At 3.45 in the afternoon on the 2nd of April, 1950, fishermen reported that the fishing coble Jean and Valerie was making very heavy weather about four miles to the south. Accordingly at 4.10 the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth waslaunched in a rough sea with a strong northerly breeze blowing. On coming up with the coble, she passed life-belts to her crew of two, and escorted her to harbour. She reached her station again at 5.20.—Rewards, £7 4s..
