Flamborough, Yorkshire.—At 6.45 on the^morning of the 14th of November, 1956, the coxswain received a message from a local fisherman that two fishing cobles were at sea with the weather becoming worse. At 7.35 the life-boat Friendly Forester was launched. There was a rough sea, a northerly gale was blowing, and the tide was flooding.

The life-boat found the two fishing cobles, Silver Line and Britannia, with a crew of three in each boat, one mile north-east of the north landing. She escorted them to harbour and arrived back at her station at 9.20.—Rewards to the crew, £7 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £l 3 2s..
