Whitby, Yorkshire. — In the early hours of the 2nd of November, 1956, the motor fishing vessel Lend Us, of Whitby, put out to go to the fishing grounds. By midday the weather had deteriorated, and as the fishing boat was due to return to harbour it was decided to launch the life-boat. At one o'clock the no. 1 life-boat Mary Ann Hepzt'orth was launched. The sea was very rough, there was a moder- ate northerly gale blowing, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat met the Lead Us and escorted her across the harbour bar. She then returned to her station, arriving back at 1.45.—• Rewards to the crew, £9 15s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 16s..
