Venture

Filey, Yorkshire.—On the morning of the 2nd of November, 1955, the weather worsened while the fishing coble Venture was still at sea with a crew of three, and at 11.20 the life- boat The Isa & Penryn Milsted was launched. She was due to carry out a routine exercise that day. The sea was rough, and a gale was blowing from the east. The life-boat escorted the Venture to the shore. She then continued with the exercise for an hour and arrived back at her station at 12.45.—Rewards to the crew, £7 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 14s..
