Bridlington, Yorkshire.—At 11.15 on the morning of the 2nd of December, 1955, an ex-coxswain of the life-boat heard a wireless distress call from a French trawler in the direction of Skipsea. At 11.55 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched, with the ex-coxswain in charge and a scratch crew. The sea was calm, there was a light west-south-west breeze and fog, and the tide was ebb- ing. The life-boat found the trawler Jacques Colin, of Boulogne, hard and fast about four miles south of the harbour. She was lying broadside to the beach. Members of the life-boat crew boarded her, and the life-boat ran out anchors for her. The trawler heaved in on her anchors, and with the life-boat pulling her as well she re- floated. The life-boat towed her clear, gave the trawler skipper a course out of Bridlington Bay, and then re- embarked her own men. The trawler went on her way to Middlesbrough, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 5.5. The skipper expressed his thanks.—Property Salvage Case..
