Pedler

Filey, Yorkshire.—At 8.40 on the evening of the 27th of June, 1955, the coastguard reported that the sailing yacht Pedler, which had a crew of two, had capsized off Primrose Valley. A fishing coble and another vacht went to her help, and at nine o'clock the life-boat The Isa & Pennjn Milsted was launched. The sea was smooth, there was a light south-westerly breeze, and the tide was flooding. The coble picked up the two people, and the life-boat went to the other yacht, which by then also needed help. She took off her crew of two and then towed both yachts to Filey, arriving at 9.50.—Rewards to the crew, £4 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £6 10s..
