Whitby, Yorkshire.—About 9.30 on the morning of the 31st of March, 1953, the local fishing coble Little Lady, with a crew of three, could be seen heading for the harbour bar in bad weather. A moderate west-north- west gale was blowing, with a heavy swell, and conditions at the bar were dangerous. At 9.40 the No. 2 harbour pulling life-boat Robert and Ellen Robson was launched, escorted in the Little Lady, and arrived back at her station at 10.15.—Rewards, £13 7s. 6d..
