Whitby, Yorkshire.—On the morning of the 7th of December, 1950, the small motor coble Enterprize II had not returned from the fishing grounds.

A strong northerly breeze was blowing causing a dangerous swell on the bar; so at 11.23 the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched. About fifteen minutes later she found the coble near the Rock Buoy, and passing life- belts to her crew, escorted her into harbour. Then she stood by until the rest of the fishing fleet were safe in port, returning to her station at 3.30.
