Scarborough, Yorkshire.—At 9.10 on the morning of the 24th of June, 1951, the coxswain reported that the local hshing coble Hilda II was off Red Cliff and making for Scarborough in bad weather. It would have been dangerous for her to enter the harbour alone, so at 9.20 the life-boat E.C.J.R.

was launched. There was a rough sea with a strong northerly breeze blow- ing as she came up with the Hilda II, two miles to the south-south-east, and escorted her safely to harbour. She reached her station again at 10.10.—• Rewards, £10 9*..
