Whitby, Yorkshire.—At 2.30 on the afternoon of the 8th of December, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that the Scarborough fishing boat Pilot Me II was bound for Whitby with engine trouble, and that the Scarborough life- boat was with her. At 2.50 the Whitby No. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepworth was launched in a rough sea, with a strong south-easterly gale blow- ing. She came up with the Pilot Me II and another fishing boat, the Courage, also of Scarborough, to the east of Whitby harbour. The life- boat escorted them to the harbour and reached her station again at 4.20. It was when returning to her station after this service that the Scarborough life- boat capsized.—Rewards, £9 4s..
