BridUngton, Yorkshire.—At 12.15 on the afternoon of the 27th of November, 1953, during bad weather, the coast- guard assembled the coastguard shore life-saving team to man the piers in case any fishing boat entering the harbour needed help. At 12.50 the life-boatmen also assembled, and at 1.10, as the weather was deteriorating, they launched the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II, with the second coxswain in charge. There was a heavy swell with a south-south-west gale blowing. The life-boat escorted in a number of local fishing boats and reached her station again at 3.10.
