Scarborough, Yorkshire. — On the afternoon of the 2nd of January, 1951, the local fishing coble Premier, which had put out that morning, had not returned. As the weather was getting worse, anxiety was felt for her safety.

At 4.15 the life-boat Herbert Joy II was launched in a rough sea with a north- north-east wind blowing. She found the coble four miles north-north-east of Castle Hill, and escorted her into the harbour, reaching her station again at 6.15 that night.—Rewards, £13 12s. 6d..
