Flamborough, Yorkshire.—-At three o'clock on the afternoon of the 20th of December, 1954, the coxswain reported that the local fishing coble Silver Line was still at sea in worsening weather.

At 3.10 the life-boat Friendly Forester was launched. The sea was rough, a northerly gale was blowing, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the coble, which was making heavy weather, three miles north-east of Flamborough Head, escorted her to the North Landing, and reached her station again at 4.20.—Rewards, £11..
