Mary

Filey, Yorkshire.—On the late after- noon of the 24th of November, 1950, the fishing boat Mary, of Filey, was reported overdue. Although the sea was slight and the wind light from the north-east, the state of the tide with approaching darkness and fog made her position very dangerous. At 3.36, therefore, the life-boat The Cuttle was launched. She found the boat with her crew of three, four to five miles east-south-east of Flamborough Head, disabled by an engine breakdown and drifting south. Taking the Mary in tow, she returned to her station, arriving at eight o'clock.—Rewards, £20 6s..
