Scone

Bridlington, Yorkshire.—At 9.36 on the morning of the 20th of December, 1950, the coastguard reported a sailing barge showing distress signals in the North Bay. At 10.10 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield, was launched in a moderate sea with a strong south- south-easterly breeze. She found the barge Scone, of Rochester, being towed by two local boats, which had put out to her aid from the shore. The life- boat escorted all the boats into harbour and returned to her station, arriving at 11.45.—Rewards, £10 12s..
