Bridlington, Yorkshire.—At 12.45 in the afternoon, on Sunday the 16th of July, 1950, the honorary secretary telephoned the coastguard about several yachts racing in the bay. As the weather was bad and the probability of some of them getting into difficulties, it was decided to send out the life-boat.

At 1.25, therefore, the Tillie Morrison, Sheffield, was launched in a moderate southerly gale with a heavy swell.

She stood by the yachts and then escorted them into harbour, reaching her station again at 3.15. The Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club expressed their thanks, and made a gift to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards, £11 19s..
