Success

Scarborough, Yorkshire.—About one o'clock on the afternoon of the 24th of November, 1955, the coastguard reported that the fishing boat Success, of Whitby, was about three miles to the north-east and making for Scar- borough, as Whitby harbour was closed because of bad weather. At 1.10 the life-boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest, on temporary duty at the station, was launched. She escorted the fishing boat to the harbour in a rough sea, with a strong north-easterly wind blowing and a flooding tide. She reached her station again at 3.48.—Rewards to the crew, £9; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 11s..
