Margaret and James

Filey, Yorkshire.—At 11.40 on the morning of the 10th of January, 1957, the coastguard reported that the local fishing boat Margaret and James was at sea in very bad weather. At 12.5 the life-boat The Isa and Penryn Milsted was launched. There was a very rough sea, a moderate north-westerly gale was blowing, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the fishing boat north of Filey Brig and escorted her safely to harbour, arriving there at 2.40.—Rewards to the crew, £9; rewards to the helpers on shore, £9 3s..
