Bridlington, Yorkshire.—At 7.45 on the morning of the 17th of December, 1955, a message was received from the harbour office that the local fishing boat Winifred, with a crew of four, had broken down three miles south-east of Flamborough Head. At 8.30 the life- boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched, with an ex-coxswain in charge. There was a rough sea, a strong north-easterly breeze was blow- ing, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat made for the position in heavy weather, and at 9.27 came up with the Winifred three miles east of Smithic Sands buoy. She passed a rope aboard, towed the fishing boat to Bridlington in worsening weather, and reached her station again at noon.— Property Salvage Case..
