Flamborough, Yorkshire. — On the morning of the 14th of December, 1955, the weather grew worse while the local fishing coble Silver Line, with a crew of two, was still at sea. Anxiety was felt for her safety, and at 10.15 the life-boat Friendly Forester was launched. The sea was very rough, there was a south-easterly gale and heavy rain, and it was low water.

The life-boat made a search and saw distress rockets fired. She came up with the Silver Line three miles north- east of Flamborough Head. The fish- ing boat was making very heavy weather, and the life-boat escorted her to the North Landing, reaching her station again at noon.—Rewards to the crew, £7 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 18s..
