Whitby, Yorkshire.—At 7.5 on the evening of the 19th of February, 1954, the coastguard rang up to say that the S.S. City of York had reported that she wished to land a sick man at Whitby and had stated that she would be off the harbour at eight o'clock.

There was a moderate swell, a light southerly breeze and thick fog. At 7.42 the No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched, with a doctor on board. She came up with the steamer half a mile north-west of Whitby Rock Buoy, took the sick man on board and landed him in the har- bour, reaching her station again at 9.5.
