Filey, and Flamborough, Yorkshire.— At 7.16 on the morning of the 17th ofApril, 1951, a fisherman telephoned the Filey life-boat authorities that he had picked up a message on his wireless set: the fishing boat May Lily, of Scar- borough, had broken down about five miles north of Flamborough Head and needed help. At 7.40 the life-boat The Cuttle was launched in a moderate sea with a moderate westerly breeze blow- ing. Meanwhile the Flamborough Head Royal Naval Signal Station telephoned the Flamborough life-boat authorities, and at 7.45 the life-boat Howard D was launched too. She came up with the May Lily, with a crew of four, drifting helplessly one and a half miles north-east of the Flam- borough life-boat station and took her in tow to Bridlington, reaching her station again at 11.15. The Filey life- boat was not needed, so she returned to her station, arriving at 8.39.—Re- wards, Filey, £12 2s.; Flamborough, £18 14s. 6d..
