Whitby, Yorkshire. — During the morning of the 4th of February, 1952, a strong north-easterly gale was blow- ing and the sea was heavy. The Whitby fishing vessel Lead Us was at sea, and at noon she wirelessed asking if it were possible to make Whitby.

She was told that the life-boat would meet her off Whitby Rock Buoy. At 1.5 that afternoon the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched, escorted in the Lead Us, and reached her station again at 2.55.—Rewards, £9 12s..
