Gloamin N.

Bridlington, Yorkshire.—During the morning of the 26th of January, 1956, the weather became worse while the local fishing boat Gloamin N, which had a crew of four, was still at sea.

At 10.10 the life-boat Tillie Morrison, Sheffield II was launched. The sea was very rough, a gale was blowing from the south-south-east, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat came up with the Gloamin N in Bridlington Bay, escorted her to the harbour, and reached her station again at 1.10.

The Flamborough life-boat also made a search during a routine exercise, but •was not needed.-—Rewards to the crew, £10 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £5 2s..
