Whitby, Yorkshire.—About 8.30 on the night of the 5th of November, 1951, the coastguard telephoned that the motor ship Geziena, of Rotterdam, which the life-boat had escorted to the harbour the previous afternoon, had parted her moorings in the harbour and was in danger of being swept seawards. An easterly gale was blow- ing and the sea was rough. At 8.44 the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched, and went alongside her.

She passed several hawsers ashore, helped the vessel to remoor, and reached her station again at 10.19.

At 6.45 the next morning she put out and stood by the Geziena while she was being secured with new ropes, arriving back at her station at nine o'clock.— Rewards, £19 95. 6d..
