Mildred

Teesmouth, Yorkshire. At 5.30 in the evening of the 23rd of November, 1951, the keeper of the South Gare Lighthouse reported a signal from a fishing coble that she had lost her pro- peller, and needed help, and at 6.6 that night the life-boat John and Lucy Cordingley was launched. There was a slight sea with a light south-westerly breeze blowing. The life-boat found the Mildred with one man aboard two and a half miles north of the lighthouse and towed her to Paddy's Hole. She arrived back at her station at 7.55.— Rewards, £9 3s..
