Coronation Queen

Runswick, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 15th of April, 1954, the weather worsened while local fishing boats were at sea, and at 10.30 the life-boat The Elliott Gill was launched.

The sea was very heavy and a gale was blowing from the north-north- west. Two fishing cobles landed at Staithes, and the life-boat escorted the Staithes coble Coronation Queen to Runswick, reaching her station again at 6.30.—Rewards, £23 8,9..
