Scarborough, Yorkshire.—At noon on the 29th of October, 1956, a message was received that the motor keel boat Lead Us. of Whitby, was approaching Whitby harbour in very bad weather.

Later a message was received that because of the weather the Lead Us was making for Scarborough. At 2.25 the life-boat Annie Ronald and Isabella Forrest was launched. There was a very rough sea, a northerly gale was blowing, and the tide was ebbing.

The life-boat came up with the Lead Us and escorted her safely to harbour, arriving at 3.30.—Rewards to the crew, £6 5s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 14.9..
