Hilda II, Rachel, Betty Sheader, Rosemary and Easter Morn

Scarborough, Yorkshire. — On the morning of the 25th of October, 1954, the weather worsened while four local fishing cobles were at sea, and at 11.15 the life-boat E.C.J.R. was launched in a flooding tide. The sea was heavy, and a fresh breeze was blowing from the north-west. The life-boat came up with the Hilda II, Rachel, Betty Sheader, and Rosemary and escorted them to the harbour. A message was then received from the Cullercoats radio station that the Whitby fishing cobles Easter Morn and Endeavour were making for Scarborough, and the life-boat put to sea again. She escort- ed them to Scarborough and reached her station again at 3.45.—Rewards, £16 18s. Qd..
