Whitby, Yorkshire.—At 12.30 in the afternoon of the 28th of March, 1952, the coastguard reported that a local fishing vessel was making heavy weather as she approached the har- bour, and at 12.50 the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched.

The sea was very heavy with an easterly gale blowing and snow show- ers. The life-boat found the Lead Us off the harbour bar, escorted her in, put to sea again, escorted in the Pilot Me II, and reached her station again at 2.25.—Rewards, £9 4,s..
