Scarborough, Yorkshire. — While the local fishing fleet was at sea in the early morning of the 29th of November, 1950.

the wind increased from the north- north-west until by nine o'clock it was blowing a gale, causing a lot of broken water off The Castle. At 11.30 the life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched.

One coble, the Good Cheer, off Cayton Bay, was the first to be escorted in.

Most of the boats were off Burniston, however, and travelling north the life- boat came up with seven cobles and escorted them all to safety. • She returned to harbour at half past one.— Rewards, £16 5s..
