Scarborough, Yorkshire. — On the afternoon of the 1 st of November, 1953, the weather deteriorated and condi- tions at the harbour entrance became dangerous. The local fishing boat Premier was at sea with a crew of three, and at 2.30 the life-boat E.C.J.R. was launched. There was a heavy sea, with a south-south-east gale blowing. The life-boat came up with the Premier off Burniston, escorted her to Scarborough harbour, and reached her station, again, at 5.30.
