Humber, Yorkshire.—At 8.55 on the morning of the 15th of May, 1957, the coastguard reported that the steamer Ewell'"h.a& picked up a small motor boat named Daphne, with three men aboard her, seven and a half miles north-west of Humber lightvessel.

The Swell's captain asked whether the life-boat could take over the tow.

At 9.20 the life-boat City of .Bradford III was launched. There was a slightsea, a moderate south-westerly breeze was blowing, and the tide was ebbing.

The life-boat came up with the Ewell three miles west of Humber lightvessel and took over the tow of the Daphne, whose engine had broken down. The boats anchored off Spurn Point, and the life-boat's mechanic went on board and repaired the engine. The work was completed by 2.15 and the Daphne went on her way. The life- boat reached her station at 3.40.— Paid Permanent Crew. Additional rewards to the crew, £4..
