Scarborough, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 12th of August, 1951, the local fishing cobles Hilda II and Rachel were at sea. The weather got worse and they felt anxious for them; so at 9.8 the life-boat E.C.J.R. was launched in a moderate swell and a strong north-easterly breeze blowing.

She went south-east and coming up with the cobles about three miles east-south-east of Castle Hill escorted them safely into Scarborough Harbour.

Then she returned to her station by 10.15.—Rewards, £10 14*. 6d..
