Scarborough, Yorkshire.—During the afternoon of the 6th of January, 1954.

two local fishing boats were still at sea in worsening weather, and at four o'clock the life-boat E.C.J.K. was launched. There was a heavy sea, with a strong wind blowing from the north-west. The life-boat came up with the Betty two miles east of Scar- borough. She escorted her to the harbour then put to sea again and found the Shirley Williamson three miles out to sea. She escorted her in as well, and reached her station again at 5.45.—Rewards, £11 4s.
