Whitby, Yorkshire.—At 11.30 on the morning of the 24th of November, 1952, the coastguard reported that the local fishing boat Success II was mak- ing for Whitby in a heavy sea with a strong north-north-west wind. The No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched at once. She stood by the outer harbour bar until the fishing boat entered the harbour, and at one o'clock another fishing boat, the Faith Star, arrived. The life-boat escorted her in and later escorted in the fishing boats Pilot Me II, Provider A and Lead Us, reaching her station again at three o'clock.—Rewards, £13 10*..
