Scarborough, Yorkshire. — On the morning of the 22nd of November, 1956.

the fishing cobles Rosemary, Hilda and Premier had put to sea. Shortly before ten o'clock the weather worsened, and as the fishing cobles were due back at the harbour it was decided to launch the life-boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest at ten. There was a heavy swell across the harbour bar, a fresh south-easterly breeze was blowing, and the tide was ebbing. As each coble returned she was escorted safely across the bar and into the harbour. The life-boat remained afloat until 4.30 in the afternoon, by which time the weather had moderated. She then returned to her station and was re- housed by 5.20.—Rewards to the crew, £12 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £7 13s..
